Top tips for a Cobham Home Buyers Survey


Cobham village's St Andrew's Church dates back to the 12th century, however the arrival of the railway in the 1880s saw an increase in its population and development, which continued in the 20th century.

A 1960s improvement scheme resulted in a widening of the High Street which resulted in a few historic buildings being demolished, with the shops replacing them often having glass fronts.

Soils are slowly permeable, seasonally wet, slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey. Most properties, barring the odd period surviving homes from the Victorian and Edwardian era, are comparatively modern and there are many semi-detached houses.

There are new build developments, such as the low-rise flats in Portsmouth Road and larger modern family homes around, particularly in Fairbourne.

Cobham also has many retirement homes, such as Churchfield House, Cobham Grange, Cobham Park and Winstanley Close/Walk (in Lushington Drive).

Cobham's south west is in the snaking flood plain of the River Mole and properties built in roads in close proximity to the river, such as Downside Bridge Road and Anvil Lane, have been 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).
Some properties in Cobham may be located in an area which is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area.

Raised levels of noise pollution from roads are particularly notable around the intersection of the M25 and the A3 in the Cobham area.

SurreySurrey 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 people

The 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.

Can I get my survey money back if the property falls through?

If the property falls through and you have already had a survey done on the property then the surveyor has already completed the work and there will be no refund.

Alternatively, what you can do is speak to the estate agent and offer for these to be purchased by their new buyer. Some sellers are receptive to this as it’ll speed up the process for future buyers, however not all sellers will agree.

It can be an annoying time when a property purchase falls through, so we will always look to work with you on your next property purchase to try and keep the next survey cost as low as possible.
