Top tips for a Cranleigh Home Buyers Survey


Cranleigh is a large village in Surrey, a little southeast of Guildford. Its Anglican parish church of St Nicolas was first built around 1170. Some housing development and population growth occurred as a result of the opening of the Wey and Arun Canal in 1816 and the railways arriving in 1865 (although Beeching's Axe saw the closure of Cranleigh Station in 1965.

Alongside 20th century properties from many eras, there are many surviving Victorian dwellings in the village in roads such as New Park Road, Mead Road, Mount Road, Bridge Road and Avenue Road. There are almost twice as many detached houses and semi-detached houses in the area.

New build developments include the detached houses in The Common and the retirement flats in Essex Drive, Elmbridge Village.

Properties in Cranleigh built in close proximity to the River Wey, the Wey and Arun Junction Canal, Little Brook and other related tributaries and channels, in streets such as Mead Road, Alford Road and Horsham Road, are in an area where flood warnings and alerts 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, some parts of Cranleigh, including streets such as Ewhurst Road B2127 and Woodland Avenue, are 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 3-5% (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.
A recent Environmental Search for a property in Clappers Meadow, Alfold, Cranleigh, GU6 8HJ, stated that the dwelling was within 4km of a well used for energy exploration or extraction.

Any areas to be explored for their energy potential by the oil & gas industry must be licensed by the Department for Energy and Climate Change. Such exploration includes areas subject to hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") investigation.

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.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey in Cranleigh, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, inspects both the inside and the outside of your property and searches in particular for subsidence, damp, infestations and any cracks or other damage to the property. The procedure is non-intrusive.

If you are worried about any defects that you think your property in Cranleigh 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.

Does the RICS Building Survey provide a breakdown of costs?

A standard level 3 RICS Building Survey provides a visual inspection of an extensive list of possible defects. The survey also provides a summary of issues which may need remedial work with an indication of their severity.

The report does not usually include a breakdown of costs although this can be provided at an additional cost.

It is worth noting that a local builder would be able to provide costs of repair based on the surveyor’s itemised list of defects and would not charge to do so. Moreover when negotiating with a vendor, the vendor expects to be provided with a builder's quote rather than a RICS building surveyor’s quote as it more accurately reflects the actual money to be spent on repairs rather than an industry standard indication.
