Top tips for a Esher Home Buyers Survey


Esher is on the old London to Portsmouth road and has a wonderful grand 18th century house called Claremont near its town centre (built 1768 and owned, but never lived in, by Clive of India).

Esher's housing mainly consists of 1920s and 1930s detached houses on private estates, as well as Victorian workmen's cottages. There are fine Arts & Crafts-inspired houses, built in the 1920s and 1930s, in Clive Road and Clare Hill, which have red brick, leaded windows and gable ends.

There are plenty of semi-detached and detached 1920s and 1930s houses around Esher Station and Hinchley Wood.

There are also newer developments, many of them large and very well-appointed. Hinchley Park in Hengest Avenue offers a fair spectrum of new builds, from one-bed maisonettes to 5-bedroom houses.

Survey Tip 3

Dwellings in the area to the north and west of Esher station, including in streets such as Ember Lane and Lower Green Road, receive flood alerts and warnings, particularly the homes built around Thames Ditton and Esher Golf Club.

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).
Ridge tiles are often used on properties in Esher and should be checked by you, or your surveyor during the purchase of your property.

Ridge tiles may appear to be firmly bedded atpresent but the mortar tends to weather and eventually the tiles will needto be rebedded - this may take several years depending on the weather conditions.
Felt is often used underneath tiles on the roof and your Building Surveyor should check this.

In time, exposed felt may break up and if this occurs, remedial action will be required by a reputable roofing contractor such as Esher Roofing, 20 Dalmore Avenue, Claygate, Esher, Surrey, KT10 0HQ on 01372 815 938.

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?

A RICS Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.

Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a homebuyers survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are thinking of buying a property in Esher incredibly important.

If the Home Buyers Survey shows up any such problems, our appointed surveyor will explain to you what you should do to get more in-depth information about the type and scope of the matter and what is required to fix it. 

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

What happens if access for the home buyers survey is denied?

On the day of the survey, if access is denied by the seller or the estate agent, then the surveyor will inform you and then look to re-book for another day.

In cases where access is denied, the surveyor will mostly likely charge a fee for this and the seller/estate agent should cover this cost as the refusal of access was not the buyer's fault.

Asbestos Survey in Esher
Asbestos prohibition laws in the United Kingdom were first introduced in the mid-1980s. In 1985, the UK banned the import and use of blue (crocidolite) and brown (amosite) asbestos. This means if your property was built 1980's and older, it could contain asbestos. Both a Level 3: Building Survey and the Level 2: HomeBuyer Report will flag signs of asbestos, however if you know there is asbestos then you should go straight for getting an Asbestos Survey. This survey will test the suspect material, whereas a RICS surveyor does not test during their inspection.
