Top tips for a Reigate Home Buyers Survey


Reigate was given to a Norman baron after the Battle of Hastings, after which a castle was built there and canons of the Order of St Augustine established a priory there in the 13th century.

You can find properties from many periods in the town – there are large 1920s houses, for example, in the Wray Common area and there is a mix of Victorian, Edwardian and later houses with some new blocks of flats built along Reigate Hill.

You can find period houses and cottages in the villages scattered along the A25, such as Betchworth, Nutfield and Bletchingley.

New build developments can be seen in Alma Road and Furzefield Road and Help to Buy is available for some town house developments in Albert Road North.

Properties in Reigate which are located in close proximity to the River Mole and its tributaries and feeders, in streets such as Roebuck Close and Bancroft Court, 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).
Some properties in Reigate may be located in an area which is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

A recent local authority search for a property in Hornbeam Road, Reigate, RH2 7NN revealed that it was within a CIL area.

The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area.

When a RICS surveyor carries out either a building survey or homebuyer report on a property in the Reigate area, they will switch the lights on and off but not test the whole electrical system. If they suspect that there is an electrical problem, they will recommend that you consult a local electrical contractor.

A local electrician near the Reigate area is DJP Electrical, 6 Castle Drive, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 8DQ.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

A Home Buyers Survey identifies many different defects or potential risks that can be found within a property and is an essential part of any home buying process. The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is completed by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) registered Surveyor so they are fully trained to provide you with the detail you need to give you the salient facts when you are looking to buy your home in Reigate.

What happens if your surveyor finds signs of damp?

If your RICS surveyor flags issues with damp during your defect survey then your next course of action is to contact a damp specialist. The damp surveyor will inspect internal and external walls and floorboards for visible signs of moisture using something called a moisture meter. Finally the surveyor will take a sample of the porous material by drilling into the wall, to see how damp it is.

If you are carrying out the damp survey as part of your due diligence before you buy the property, it is reasonable to ask the seller to cover the costs in your negotiations as the damp will have been worsening during the current owner's tenancy.

Georgian Properties in Reigate
Georgian properties should only have a Level 3: Building Survey (formally called the full structural survey) completed by a competent RICS surveyor as the age of the property will command a more in-depth assessment of the property's build and structure. It is often common to have extensions to the property that need the keen eye of the surveyor to inspect the build quality. A HomeBuyer Report is not suited as it is only advisable to be used on flats bungalows and standard construction properties.

Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
