Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Hounslow
Hounslow’s housing stock was built, in the main, post-war – there are any number of semi-detached houses built in the 1950s – and as factory employment declined and office work increased, further standard construction housing was built in the two decades after the 1970s.
You can still find some Georgian-style housing in the Lampton area, which is the northern part of central Hounslow, lying immediately south of the Great West Road.

Buildings in Twickenham built close to the River Crane, the Duke of Northumberland's River and those on the banks of the River Thames, including in streets such as Kendrey Gardens and Chase Gardens, have been subject to flood alerts and warnings 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).
Properties built around the A4 and A30 are likely to experience higher noise levels.
Soil types in Hounslow are generally loamy with naturally high groundwater.
Middlesex is a county located in south east of England, however many parts of Middlesex are now commonly known as part of Greater London, with small sections in neighbouring counties.Strictly speaking Middlesex as a concept is only kept in existence by many people continuing to name it as a county on postal addresses and other contributors such as Middlesex County Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Lord's in St John's Wood, just outside Central London. It is still loved despite it not having any form of administrative function etc.
People hearing about Middlesex assume it was/is a large county because of the amount of Greater London territory (West and North London and Westminster, with the Thames as its southern boundary) which lies within its borders. It is actually the second smallest county in the UK. Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon system from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The largely low-lying county's soil is dominated by clay in its north and alluvium on gravel in its south.
Middlesex contains locations as diverse as Teddington (where the tidal Thames normally finishes), Enfield, Notting Hill, Ickenham, Ealing (where the famous film studios which produced so much early film comedy still exists), Hampstead and Southall.

Does the Building Survey check the electrics and boiler?
The Building Survey is a defect report and will highlight any visual issues such as damp, subsidence and asbestos.
The surveyor will not carry out specialist inspections other than normal operation in everyday use, for example, switching lights on and off and turning the heating on and off.
If the surveyor feels that the electrics and boiler need further investigation then they will recommend that you get an electrician or engineer into the property to carry out an intrusive assessment.

A HomeBuyers Report is general visual inspection for flats, new properties or bungalows of standard construction. Most leasehold flats in Hounslow should have a HomeBuyers Report, however the only exception are converted properties which may need a Building Survey.
>Building Survey in Hounslow
Most freehold houses in Hounslow 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.
