Top tips for a Purley Home Buyers Survey


Purley is a South London suburban town with a garden suburb developed in the early 20th century (between 1903 and 1925) by William Webb: he bought the 260 acre site south of Foxley Lane in 1888. Probably the most desirable street is Rose Walk.

Purley has a mix of Victorian, Edwardian and Twenties and Thirties houses, plus modern flats in the town centre. Woodcote Park Estate has large detached houses. There are many terrace houses in Downs Court Road.

New developments include Purley Court in Brighton Road (1 and 2 bedroom penthouses built on top of a 1930s Art Deco block) and Beechwood Place in Woodcote Valley Road, which offers flats in 2 blocks which look like the surrounding detached houses.

All properties in Purley, including streets such as Monahan Avenue and Brancaster Lane, are in an area which is 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).
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Purley, including streets such as Brancaster Lane and Purley Bury Close, are 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 3 – 5% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level).

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.

Guildford is the county town, however Surrey County Council can be found just up the A3 in the neighbouring town Kingston Upon Thames. It was in Dorking in Surrey at the White Horse where Charles Dickens wrote much of his Pickwick Papers and apparently based many of the characters on local people

The University of Surrey can be found in Guildford, however Surrey also hosts the Royal Holloway University of London (Egham), University of Law & Kingston University. HG Wells, writer of War of the Worlds, lived at Horsell Common in Woking in Surrey when he wrote the book and this is where, in the book, the Martians first land on Earth.

If the Home Buyers Survey shows up any such problems, our appointed surveyor will explain to you what you should do to get more in-depth information about the type and scope of the matter and what is required to fix it.

If you are worried about any defects that you think your property in Purley has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might grow to many thousands of pounds as time progresses.

When should I book my survey?

Ideally, you will want to arrange a survey as early as possible in the purchase transaction. The reason for this is to ensure that any problems that may be identified can be looked into by your solicitor within a good time frame. The survey report may reveal matters which require further investigation by your solicitor and this can take time if a further investigation is needed by a specialist.

You want to make sure that you receive the results of the survey before proceeding to exchange of contracts as at this point in the process you become legally bound to the purchase and will not be able to re-negotiate the price or withdraw from the sale.

Thatched Roof Properties in Purley
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 Purley. 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.
