Top tips for a Byfleet Home Buyers Survey
Byfleet is an inland island and a village which has medieval origins. It expanded particularly when Brooklands motor circuit opened in 1907 and this caused a large housing estate to be developed between Chertsey Road and Oyster Lane during World War 1. The estate was sold off but the houses have survived.
St Mary's Church dates to the 14th century and Byfleet Manor was built in 1686.
There are many modern housing developments in the area, such as Barnes Wallis Court, built in 2009, at the junction of Oyster Lane and Parvis road, however the old village has 12 listed buildings.

Much of Byfleet is in a flood plain formed by the River Thames and the River Wey and therefore many dwellings, such as in Church Road and Brewery Lane, are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). |
Properties in some areas of Byfleet may be affected by environmental constraints. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Woodlands Avenue, West Byfleet KT14 6AT revealed that the property was within 250m of an area likely to be impacted by environmental constraints. These included the Basingstoke Canal, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Areas which have been designated as having environmental or historical importance may impose constraints on property or land developments or alterations. |
Properties in some areas of Byfleet may be affected by overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Pyrford Road, West Byfleet KT14 6RJ revealed that there were overhead power lines or mobile phone masts located within 250m of the dwelling. Overhead power lines and phone masts can be contentious and additionally may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. |
Surrey is located in the south east of England and is well known for its high property prices and leafy areas. Guildford is the county town, however Surrey County Council can be found just up the A3 in the neighbouring town Kingston Upon Thames. It was in Dorking in Surrey at the White Horse where Charles Dickens wrote much of his Pickwick Papers and apparently based many of the characters on local peopleThe University of Surrey can be found in Guildford, however Surrey also hosts the Royal Holloway University of London (Egham), University of Law & Kingston University. HG Wells, writer of War of the Worlds, lived at Horsell Common in Woking in Surrey when he wrote the book and this is where, in the book, the Martians first land on Earth.

Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are considering buying a property in Byfleet, incredibly important.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
When you get a mortgage for your property in Byfleet your mortgage lender requires you to pay for a mortgage valuation survey of the property. The aim of this survey is to give the mortgage lender reassurance that the property is worth what you are paying. Although you pay for the mortgage valuation survey, it belongs to the mortgage lender and often you won't be allowed to see it.
It is paramount that when buying a property you get your own HomeBuyers Survey that reports on defects or potential issues with the property; either a HomeBuyers Report or a Building Survey. Buying without a survey could leave you exposed to any repair costs or defects that you didn't spot. Defects such as subsidence can cost thousands to repair and would affect your future sale price if not repaired.
A HomeBuyer Survey will give you reassurance to buy your new home without worrying about what is in the closet. If you aren't sure what you should do or which HomeBuyer Survey to get call us and we'll talk you through the options - this is what we do!
