Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Oundle
The oldest building in Oundle is the Talbot Hotel, which is an Elizabethan hotel. Parts of the hotel are thought to have been part of an inn in the 1500s. It was originally built from wood, but it was renovated with stone ruins from the nearby Fotheringhay Castle. There are other Elizabethan houses still standing in and around Peterborough such as those in Orton Waterville.
Lots of developments occurred during the Georgian era so the town is generally considered a Georgian market town. Properties from this era are such as those on Church Street and Upper Benefield.
The nearest new development area to Oundle is the Bluebelle development situated in Corby that provides new detached homes that have two, three or four bedrooms.
Being a riverside town, there are various streets that may be subject to flood warnings and alerts. This includes South Road, New Road and Bassett Ford Road.
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).
Raised levels of noise pollution in Oundle are as a result of the A605 that runs down the east side of the town. Road towards this side of the town are affected such as Ashton Road, Romwell Way and Webb Close.
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Oundle is 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% in the northwest of the town, and a maximum of 3-5% in the rest of it (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level).

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
When you purchase a home in Oundle using a mortgage your Mortgage Lender will require you to get a mortgage valuation to assess how much your property is actually worth. You have to pay for this survey and often you may assume this is also a structural assessment to identify defects. Unfortunately the mortgage valuation is just for the mortgage lender which means you need to get your own independent survey of the property to make sure there aren't any defects.
There is some confusion as the mortgage valuation is often referred to as a survey and so many buyers assume this is what is meant by 'have you done your survey?' It is important that when buying a property in Oundle you arrange your own HomeBuyers Survey that reports on defects or potential issues with the property. The two types of HomeBuyers Survey to choose from are the HomeBuyers Report or the Building Survey. Buying without a survey could leave you exposed to any repair costs or defects that you didn't spot. The costs of underpinning a property due to subsidence run into the £10,000s so it is important to get a survey to check for this type of defect particularly.
Does your property look like this?
A thatch roof is a very particular style for a property and it is important you get a RICS surveyor who has previous experience of surveying thatched roof properties in Oundle. A Level 3: Building Survey is better suited for this style of property due to the age and style of the property and the surveyor will need to pay special attention to inspecting the current condition of the roof as thatch does deteriorate over time.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
