Properties built in close proximity to the River Wey and its tributaries and channels around Milford are sometimes subject to flood alerts and flood warnings are sometimes issued for properties around Eashing to its north for example in the Hollow and Lower Eashing. 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). |
Your RICS surveyor inspects drains during a survey, where the drain cover is accessible and on the site of the property. If the drains are reported to be blocked you may need to employ a drainage company to inspect the drains with CCTV such as TapCo, 12 Thorkhill Road, Thames Ditton, SURREY, KT7 0UE. |
Raised levels of noise pollution from railways in the Milford area mainly centre around where the railway crosses Station Lane, where Milford Station is located. |

Do you need a RICS Building Survey for a new flat?
The RICS HomeBuyers Report is specifically designed to be an ideal home buyers survey for flats and bungalows and smaller, more modern properties in general.
Your RICS surveyor checks all areas that are accessible within the property for the report, notes any suspicions of property defects such as subsidence and damp and will give a general review of the construction and condition of the property.
The report also gives you a market valuation and reinstatement cost.
A RICS Building Survey is more suited to older properties, larger properties and/or those which have been extended and those made of non-standard construction materials.
