Top tips for a Luton Home Buyers Survey
Luton developed rapidly after the arrival of the railway in 1860 and in the century before 1901, the population increased more than tenfold to 39,000. Various industries were located there from 1905 onwards and into the interwar period, such as Vauxhall: this led to lots of private and council housing being built there in the 1920s and 1930s.
Luton was extensively bombed in the 2nd world war which was the cause of large council housing estates being built at Farley Hill, Stopsley, Limbury, Marsh Farm and Leagrave.

Buildings in Luton built close to the River Lea, for example along the New Bedford Road 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). |
Some properties in Luton are located in close proximity to Luton Airport and its associated flight paths. A recent HomeBuyer Report carried out on a home in Twyford Avenue was one such property. Properties such as this are subject to pollution in the air and air traffic noise may be audible from time to time. |
Properties in some areas of Luton may be affected by overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Cowper Street revealed that there were overhead power lines or mobile phone masts located within 250m of the dwelling. Overhead power lines and phone masts can be contentious and additionally may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. |
Bedfordshire is often abbreviated to Beds and is a county located to the East of England. It is a ceremonial county and a historic county, covered by three unitary authorities: Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, and Luton. Bedfordshire is bordered by Cambridgeshire to the northeast, Northamptonshire to the north, Buckinghamshire to the west and Hertfordshire to the southeast.Bedford itself is halfway between Oxford and Cambridge and a railway line nicknamed the Varsity or Brain Line used to connect the two universities. Bedfordshire contains the Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, as well as Woburn Abbey and Safari Park. John Bunyan, author of the Pigrim's Progress, was from the county (born Elstow, just south of Bedford) and actually spent 12 years in Bedford Gaol for his nonconformist views regarding the restoration of the monarchy!

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey identifies many different defects or potential risks that can be found within a property and is an essential part of any home buying process.
The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is completed by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) registered surveyor so they are fully trained to provide you with the detail you need to buy your home.

If they find any issues during the inspection of your property in Luton, our surveyor will flag them up in the Home Buyers Survey and give you advice on what you should do to solve them. An example of this is where the surveyor finds evidence of woodworm infestation.
If you are concerned about any other defects with the property you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey as the costs of repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds.

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.
Does your property look like this?
If you have a crack similar to this in the property then you should be looking to instruct a Structural Engineer, instead of a RICS surveyor. The reason being is that your property could have subsidence and although a RICS surveyor can confirm if they have a suspicion, they cannot confirm definitively if there is subsidence. If the crack in the wall is more than 3mm (a 50p could fit in it), it is advisable to get a structural engineer in straight away over a RICS surveyor.
