Top tips for a Chislehurst Home Buyers Survey
Chislehurst is an affluent suburban district of southeast London in Bromley Borough. One key point of attraction of the area is that its commons are protected by an Act of Parliament.
The area has much choice in terms of its housing; anything from modern flats to period conversions; from two-bedroom cottages to Victorian and Edwardian terrace houses, plus large detached mansions.
Wilderness Road has large detached properties from the 1920s and the High Street and Park Road have period cottages. You can find 1930s and 1950s semi-detached houses in Empress Drive and Prince Imperial Road. There are plenty of 3-bedroomed 1930s houses in roads such as Westhurst Drive, Holmdale Road and Woodside Avenue.
New developments include Viscount Mews, off the High Street, which has 1 and 2-bedroom flats and duplexes which look like mews houses.

All properties in Chislehurst, for example in streets such as Green Lane and Norlands Crescent, are in an area where flood alerts and warnings are issued 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). |
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Chislehurst, including streets such as Chislehurst High Street and Willow Grove, is in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 1-3% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level). If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map. Click also to find out more about Radon, Radon property searches and much more. |
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Chislehurst area mainly centre around the main road – Bromley Road - A222, and of rail pollution where the railway line crosses Bickley Park Road. |
Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property aimed at pinpointing issues such as subsidence, damp, cracks, infestation and damage. The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive.
NB If you're a first time buyer, you might wish to click on What is a House Survey to find out more, including what happens during the inspection.

If the Home Buyers Survey shows up any such problems, our appointed surveyor will explain to you what you should do to get more in-depth information about the type and scope of the matter and what is required to fix it.
If you are worried about any defects that you think your property in Chislehurst has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might grow to many thousands of pounds as time progresses.

What should you do when the surveyor finds a defect that affects the property price?
This is a very difficult situation to be in. You have agreed a price with the seller not knowing of this issue and now have the issue of needing to revisit your offer.
The best advice is to inform the seller/estate agent of the issue you have uncovered, provide the specific information from the report from your Building Surveyor (not the full report) and then discuss a solution that accounts for the repair works.
Does your property look like this?
If you have a crack similar to this in the property then you should be looking to instruct a Structural Engineer, instead of a RICS surveyor. The reason being is that your property could have subsidence and although a RICS surveyor can confirm if they have a suspicion, they cannot confirm definitively if there is subsidence. If the crack in the wall is more than 3mm (a 50p could fit in it), it is advisable to get a structural engineer in straight away over a RICS surveyor.
