Top tips for a East London Home Buyers Survey

East London is located to the north of the lower Thames valley, with the Thames its southern boundary. It is an area which has seen much redevelopment, most notably around the docklands from the 1980s. Barking has large council housing estates built from the 1930s onwards and the East End has many properties going back to the Georgian and Victorian periods.

Much housing was built in the mid-19th century with the expansion of the railway and much social housing was built in the 1920s in Becontree and Harold Hill. The streets around Brick Lane have many period properties.

There are many new housing developments, particularly around the docklands and there are shared ownership developments at Royal Albert Wharf (Gallions Reach), Traders' Quarter (Pontoon Dock), Rathbone Market (Canning Town) and Horizons Tower (Canary Wharf).

Properties in East London built in close proximity to the path of the River Thames, the River Roding and the River Lee and other water courses 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).	According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some areas of East London, including around Silvertown and the Isle of Dogs (including streets such as Marsh Wall and Mastmaker Road), are in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. 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.	Section J1 of a RICS HomeBuyer Report concerns risks to the building that has been inspected. For a recent HomeBuyer Report for a property in Forest Road, Leytonstone, East London, the surveyor commented on risks such as structural movement, subsidence, dampness, timber decay and trees. They noted, for example, that trees were close to the building and that these can cause damage to buildings and services so they should be regularly pruned to minimise potential damage.

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.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?

Many people mistakenly think a mortgage valuation is a HomeBuyers Survey and this can leave home buyers exposed to high repair costs that could have been negotiated with the vendor. The lender's surveyor conducts a mortgage valuation to calculate the value of the property you are interested in buying in East London and they do not provide a detailed report on structural defects.

A HomeBuyers Survey itemises defects and includes a full appraisal of the property independently to anyone else including the mortgage lender. You can use the information to obtain quotes to fix any defects and it gives you the evidence potentially to share the costs with the seller.

Most savvy buyers make sure they get a HomeBuyers survey from an independent surveyor to make sure the property they are buying is free from defects. Call us on 0207 112 5388 to get the best HomeBuyers survey for your property in East London.

Does your property look like this?

A purpose built block of flats similar to this will always require a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report and not a Building Survey because there will not be the requirement for the additional detail you get within the Building Survey as the property is too young and built using more modern building techniques.

Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
