Earley consists of slowly permeable, seasonally wet, slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils. Soils have impeded drainage - the effect is more severe and winter waterlogging results in very wet ground conditions. |
Earley and Lower Earley have a number of new build developments completed and under construction. When buying a new build property make sure to get a snagging report to ensure the build quality of the finished property is up to standard. Read more about - What is a Snagging Report? |

Berkshire is a county which touches a small part of the borders of West London. It is a home county (because it borders Greater London) and is often called Royal Berkshire because it contains Windsor and Windsor Castle. It hosts a number of iconic UK landmarks such as Ascot (Ascot Racecourse), Wentworth (Golf Course), Sunningdale (Golf Course), Virginia Water and Windsor Great Park and Eton School. Virginia Water was the first postcode area where the average property price exceeded one million.Like many of the home counties, there are many essentially commuter dormitory settlements which house London workers. Reading (which is Berkshire's county town) in particular is a larger one and is popular because of its very fast rail links with Central London - there are many one-stop services to London Paddington and it is also due to be the western terminus of the Crossrail line.

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.

Does your surveyor check the chimney?
If you're buying a period property which features a chimney you will want to ensure there are no defects or issues with pointing that may cause you issues in the future.
Your RICS surveyor will assess the exterior of a chimney usually from ground level or a nearby vantage point/accessible flat roof to note any issues visible and advise accordingly.
Internally your surveyor will visually check for any signs of structural movement and that the flue is clear, however, this is only possible if accessible.
You should note, however, that surveyors are not structural engineers and so they may advise a further inspection is carried out by such a suitable specialist if suspicions of defects are noted.
