Properties in Hemel Hempstead which are built near the River Bulbourne or the River Gade, such as in Kingsland Road and Lawn Lane, are 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). |
A recent Environmental Search on Wadley Close, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP2 4JJ, stated that the property was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability, although there were no natural cavities within 250m. This does not mean the property has subsidence as the only way to assess this is through a surveyor attending the property and looking for physical signs of movement. This data is obtained from the British Geological Survey who assessed the Hemel Hempstead area. |
Section E1 within a HomeBuyer Report discuses about the condition of the Chimney Stack at the property. For adjoining properties such as terrace or semi-detached, you may share a chimney stack with your neighbour. An example of this, in a recent HomeBuyer Report in Windmill Road, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. HP2 4BY it was noted "There is a shared brick built chimney stack with the property adjoining. The weather proof seal (flashing) between the stack and the roof covering is formed in lead. A gas cowl is fitted for the central heating boiler flue. Remaining chimney flues are no longer in use. The stack is showing general effects of wear, age and weathering. There are no indications of urgent or significant defects. Condition Rating 1. This chimney stack or stacks should remain serviceable providing regular checks and maintenance are carried out." |
