Top tips for a Redhill Home Buyers Survey
Redhill town developed originally from a toll road which opened in 1818 and the more so when the railway arrived in 1844. There are some period properties in the area, but many were knocked down in the 1960s. The St John's area, however, has many period cottages and Crosslands Road has large Edwardian houses.
There are many modern developments, such as Water Colour, which has new flats and houses built in the New England style.

Properties built close to the Redhill Brook in Redhill, particularly around the Earlsbrook area, in streets such as Earlsbrook Road and St John's Road, are subject to flood alerts and warnings 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). |
Some properties in Redhill are located nearby to areas to be explored for their energy potential by the oil & gas industry – they must be licensed by the Oil and Gas Authority – and such exploration includes areas subject to hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") investigation. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Shire Place, Redhill, RH1 6DN for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of an area licensed for onshore energy exploration and production. |
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Redhill, including streets such as Asylum Arch Road and Talfourd Way, 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.

Surrey is located in the south east of England and is well known for its high property prices and leafy areas. 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 peopleThe 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.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, incredibly important when you are considering buying a home in Redhill.
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.

The Home Buyer Survey will report on issues found, however you need to make sure that you choose the right Home Buyer Survey for your property because some defects require further detail and this is best served by booking a Building Survey.

Do I get aerial photos of my property as part of my survey?
Your surveyor will take photographs of your roof as part of your survey. These may form part of a Building Survey or may be referred to in a Homebuyer Report.
These photos are not aerial photos; they are normally taken from ground level and possibly from using a device which enables photos to be taken from an upper window.
The surveyor takes photos as part of their checking of the property for defects; they will inspect all accessible areas in order to do this, including the drains and the loft (if this is present and they can get to it).
