Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Hartlepool
Hartlepool’s population increased in the Middle Ages due to the harbour being used as the official port of the County Palatine of Durham. Its population increased again when the railway link was established in 1839, connecting West Hartlepool to the Clarence railway.
There are Victorian terrace houses and spectacular Victorian detached houses on Burn Valley Road and Grange Road. Cosy Edwardian properties can be found on Park Road and there are flats overlooking the sea on Beaconsfield Street. The new development Tunstall Farm has a collection of 3/4/5 bedroom houses situated off Valley Drive.
Dwellings close to Hartlepool Bay are subject to flood alerts from time to time. This includes roads such as Sidings Close, Mainsforth Terrace and Burn Road.
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).
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Hartlepool area mainly centre around the main road – A179 (Powlett Road) and the A689, impacting roads such as Holdforth Road and Studley Road.
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, the north part of Hartlepool is 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 1-3% (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.
County Durham is a county located in the north of England and its coastline is on the North Sea. Its county town is Durham which is a historic city and is host to the beautiful Durham Castle. The county is perhaps most famously known for Durham Cathedral, otherwise known as The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham, first opened in 1018, as well as the collegiate Durham University that was first established in 1832. The county's major population centres include Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees. Surrounding counties are Tyne and Wear and Northumberland to the north, Cumbria to the west and North Yorkshire to the south.
The unitary authority for the majority of County Durham is Durham County Council, however Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees have their own unitary authorities.
County Durham contains many national parks like the North Pennines, Hamsterley Forest and the High Force Waterfall. North Pennines is a section of the Pennines famous for mining and birdwatching.
The only motorway in the county is the A1(M) but there are many dual carriageways with the main ones being the A68 and the A688.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
Many people are not entirely sure about the difference between a mortgage valuation and a HomeBuyers Survey.
Your lender conducts its own valuation on the property in Hartlepool you intend to buy to check that it is lending you the right sum of money in relation to the property's value. It is not intended to examine any defects which might affect the property.
When you book a HomeBuyers Survey from us, as well as receiving an independent valuation of the property you wish to buy, the primary focus is to establish whether the property has any issues which you should know about, for example rising damp or subsidence, which might, particularly as time passes, end up requiring even tens of thousands of pounds to put right.
This knowledge is naturally of great use to you, given how much you are intending to spend. You might, on the strength of the information, provided, negotiate with the seller to contribute towards the costs of repairing the defects or even pull out buying the property entirely.
Most importantly, any HomeBuyers Survey is entirely for YOUR benefit and is independent of both your lender - if you are buying with a mortgage - and your vendor. Call 0333 344 3234 to get yours and to help your peace of mind.

HomeBuyers Report in Hartlepool
A HomeBuyers Report is general visual inspection for flats, new properties or bungalows of standard construction. Most leasehold flats in Hartlepool should have a HomeBuyers Report, however the only exception are converted properties which may need a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Hartlepool
Most freehold houses in Hartlepool that are over 50 years old, that have been refurbished/developed or are unusual in style should get a Building Survey. A Building Survey used to be called the Full Structural Survey and is the most comprehensive visual inspection a surveyor can provide. Choosing a HomeBuyers Report when you should have a Building survey can be costly if key defects don't get reported in the detail you require.
If you are unsure which survey to choose you can call our surveyors and they'll help you choose - Call 0333 344 3234.
