Top tips for a Hungerford Home Buyers Survey

Hungerford has many Georgian and Victorian buildings. The Town Hall & Corn Exchange is a prominent Victorian building standing in the market place in Hungerford's High Street and there are examples of good-sized semi-detached properties in Church Street. Georgian housing can be found in streets like Bath Road.

You can find plenty of 20th century properties, 1930s and onwards, semi-detached, bungalows and terraces, in places like Woodbury, Crown Mews, Park Street and Templeton Road.

There are various new build developments in the locale; anything from large detached properties in Stag Hill to the new build flats in the High Street.


Survey Tip 1	Survey Tip 2	Survey Tip 3
Properties in Hungerford built in close proximity to the River Kennet, the River Dun and the River Shalbourne, in streets such as Shalbourne Close and North Standen Road, are in an area where flood warnings and alerts are issued 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 parts of Hungerford, including streets such as Smitham Bridge Road and Chiltern Way, are 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.	Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Hungerford area mainly centre around Bath Road and Eddington Hill. Raised levels of noise pollution from railways accompany the streets which are near the railway line as it passes through Hungerford Station on an East-West axis, affecting streets such as Parsonage Lane and Church Street.

Berkshire is a county which touches a small part of the borders of West London. It is a home county (because it borders Greater London) and is often called Royal Berkshire because it contains Windsor and Windsor Castle. It hosts a number of iconic UK landmarks such as Ascot (Ascot Racecourse), Wentworth (Golf Course), Sunningdale (Golf Course), Virginia Water and Windsor Great Park and Eton School. Virginia Water was the first postcode area where the average property price exceeded one million.

Like many of the home counties, there are many essentially commuter dormitory settlements which house London workers. Reading (which is Berkshire's county town) in particular is a larger one and is popular because of its very fast rail links with Central London - there are many one-stop services to London Paddington and it is also due to be the western terminus of the Crossrail line.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

A RICS Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property.

Choosing the right survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, to get is important however both a HomeBuyers Report and a Building Survey will identify any suspicions of the main defects discussed below.

Can I get my survey money back if the property falls through?

If the property falls through and you have already had a survey done on the property then the surveyor has already completed the work and there will be no refund.

Alternatively, what you can do is speak to the estate agent and offer for these to be purchased by their new buyer. Some sellers are receptive to this as it’ll speed up the process for future buyers, however not all sellers will agree.

It can be an annoying time when a property purchase falls through, so we will always look to work with you on your next property purchase to try and keep the next survey cost as low as possible.

Does your property look like this?

Georgian properties should only have a Level 3: Building Survey (formally called the full structural survey) completed by a competent RICS surveyor as the age of the property will command a more in-depth assessment of the property's build and structure. It is often common to have extensions to the property that need the keen eye of the surveyor to inspect the build quality. A HomeBuyer Report is not suited as it is only advisable to be used on flats bungalows and standard construction properties.
