Properties to the south of Ottershaw which are located in close proximity to the The Bourne and its tributaries, channels and feeders, particularly where the Chertsey Road/Guildford Road cross the river, are in areas which are subject to flood 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).
Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Ottershaw.
In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Hazelbank Road, KT16 8BB, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m of the property.
This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built."

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.
