When you get a Local Authority Conveyancing Search you can find out about planned road, rail and traffic schemes which might affect the property in question. A recent such search taken out for a property in Elmcroft Road, Orpington BR6 0HY revealed that the property was in an area that might be affected by the proposed construction of an extension of the Bakerloo Line (London Underground/tube). |
You'd only normally get a Ground Stability Report, a particular kind of conveyancing property search, if your lender insists on it or a local authority search flags up the need for it, regarding a particular property you're looking to buy. A recent such search, taken out for a property in Station Road, Orpington BR6 0SA, revealed that the property was built within 250 metres of recorded mining activity and had a highly likely chance of potential for ground instability related to non-coal mining within the same radius. The search additionally revealed natural and man-made cavities and mineral extraction/quarrying within the same radius and the existence of bore holes. The evidence of the existence of such attributes can have implications; a lender might choose not to lend or might make any lending conditional on further checks and/or obtaining specific insurance. Additionally, depending on the severity of the situation, they might influence you as a buyer to pull out of the purchase. . |
An Environmental Search report can flag up potential flooding issues affecting the land a property you're looking to buy is located on. A recent such report, taken out for a property in Bruce Grove, Orpington BR6 0HF, revealed that there was potential for surface water flooding within 25 metres of the property, a risk of flooding from rivers and sea within 250 metres and a risk of groundwater flooding within 25 metres.
These findings are important, not least to brief you about flooding potential which might affect your enjoyment of the property in the future, but also is likely to make insurance either more expensive or even unable to obtain. |
