Top tips for a Maidenhead Home Buyers Survey


Maidenhead is a riverside town which expanded rapidly when the railway arrived in 1839. Crossrail is likely to bring with it further housing development.

Maidenhead has fantastic properties along the immediate riverside from many periods and in other places there are Victorian and Edwardian properties as well as more modern housing and new build flat developments. The villages in the hinterland have mainly period houses and cottages.

The Chiltern Estate has detached family homes built in the 1950s and 1960s. New developments coming on line or just completed include The Landing, Chapel Arches (both in the town centre), Brunel Gardens (which includes affordable properties) and Parklands on Cookham Road (which replaces a former council estate). 

Some properties have been offered under shared ownership terms.

Properties in Maidenhead built in close proximity to the path of the River Thames, such as those in Bay Mead Road, have been 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).
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, most of Maidenhead, including streets such as Cordwallis Road and Bailey Close, is in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions.

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.
Slate roof properties in Maidenhead need maintenance from time to time.


A recent building survey conducted on a property in Grenfell Road revealed that although the majority of the slating was in satisfactory condition, with slates laid to straight regular courses, many of the slates were held in place with lead clips, called tingles, indicating that the iron nails which were used for the purpose when the house was built had rusted away.


Slates will continue to slip and therefore maintenance is required from time to time to keep the roof slopes in a sound condition until such time as they are stripped and recovered.

BerkshireBerkshire 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 Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property aimed at pinpointing issues such as subsidence, damp, cracks, infestation and damage. The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive.

NB If you're a first time buyer, you might wish to click on What is a House Survey to find out more, including what happens during the inspection.

Why can’t I have a HomeBuyer Report on a thatched cottage?

Any property older than 70years/that has had the original fabric of the structure altered/or has a unique feature like a thatched roof is best catered for by a building survey.

The HomeBuyer Report comes in a standard format and anything that falls outside of that, such as an older property where the original build materials have decayed, won’t be adequately addressed and will require the bespoke nature of reporting that comes with a Building Survey.

Asbestos Survey in Maidenhead
Asbestos prohibition laws in the United Kingdom were first introduced in the mid-1980s. In 1985, the UK banned the import and use of blue (crocidolite) and brown (amosite) asbestos. This means if your property was built 1980's and older, it could contain asbestos. Both a Level 3: Building Survey and the Level 2: HomeBuyer Report will flag signs of asbestos, however if you know there is asbestos then you should go straight for getting an Asbestos Survey. This survey will test the suspect material, whereas a RICS surveyor does not test during their inspection.
