Top tips for a Runcorn Home Buyers Survey

Up until the late 18th, Runcorn was a small village in Halton, Cheshire. After the industrial revolution it grew and is now considered an industrial town. A major landmark is Halton Castle, that is thought to have been built in the 15th century with only the ruins remaining today. In 1598 Seneschal’s House was built which still stands today.

There is a variety of architecture in Runcorn. Some Victorian houses lie on Norfolk street and some Edwardian houses on Wicksten Drive. There are a range of detached, semi-detached and terrace houses available on these streets. A new development in Runcorn is Hatters Park which has 3 and 4 bedroom modern homes. Most of these are detached houses.

Flood warnings and alerts in Runcorn are generally restricted to homes on the immediate south bank of the River Mersey for example those on Mersey Road and Old Coach 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 from roads in Runcorn mainly centre around the main roads - the A557, impacting roads such as Percival Lane and Picow Farm Road, and the A533 impacting roads including Ashbridge Street and Leiria Way.	According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Runcorn 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% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level).

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey in Runcorn, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, inspects both the inside and the outside of your property and searches in particular for subsidence, damp, infestations and any cracks or other damage to the property. The procedure is non-intrusive.

How long does it take to compile a survey report?

On the day of the inspection the surveyor will attend the property and complete your chosen survey; either a HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey. Once they are back in the office the same evening they will give you a call to run through any major issues found during the inspection (some surveyors don't offer this service however with us this comes as standard).

The surveyor will then email the report to you five working days after the survey has taken place. If the surveyor feels the report is going to take him longer to type up due to the detail included then they’ll advise you of when the survey report will be made available.

Does your property look like this?

A purpose built block of flats similar to this will always require a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report and not a Building Survey because there will not be the requirement for the additional detail you get within the Building Survey as the property is too young and built using more modern building techniques.

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