Top tips for a Colindale Home Buyers Survey
Colindale is a suburb in northnorthwest London in Barnet Borough. It only developed from the beginning of the 20th century, but then expanded rapidly. By 1914 there was already some suburban housing between Colindale Avenue and Annesley Avenue, mostly to house the workers in local factories.
The tube arrived in 1923, providing a further spur to house-building and the siting of industrial units. By 1939 much of Colindale was semi-detached housing. Typical is the Colin Park Estate, around Colindeep Lane.
Housing development continued postwar and right up to modern times. New buid developments include the apartment blocks in Colindale Avenue, Zenith Close and Boulevard Drive.

Properties in Colindale which are built in close proximity to the Silk Stream, including streets such as Colindale Avenue and Cecil Road, is in an area which is 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). |
A recent Environmental Search for a property in The Hyde, Colindale, London NW9 5NG, stated that the dwelling was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability. The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. Active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |
Overhead lines and phone masts can be contentious and may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. A recent Environmental Search stated that a property in The Hyde, Colindale, London NW9 5NG, was within 250m of overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. |
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.
