Top tips for a Runwell Home Buyers Survey


Originally the majority of the architecture in Runwell dated back to the Victorian period, with very few modern homes. However there is a new development called St Luke's Park which has new properties designed for modern living.

There is a mixture of property styles in the village including terrace houses on Alderney Gardens and detached houses on Brock Hill and Runwell Road. There are many large detached properties in Runwell with large gardens, so it is an ideal location for families.

Survey Tip 3

A tributary of the River Crouch runs through Runwell and properties which are built close to its path may be subject to flood alerts from time to time. This includes Vikings Way, Locarno Avenue and Church End Lane.

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 may be experienced in Runwell due to Runwell Road and the A130. Roads in between the two, especially St Luke's Way and Runwell Chase may have the highest level of noise pollution in the village.
In a recent environmental search carried out for a property in Billericay, reference was made to a moderate potential for ground instability within 50m of the property.

Essex.pngEssex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical and used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend, a seaside resort, to Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.

Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are water (the River Thames and the North Sea), the remainder includes Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Runwell and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.

Do I get an aerial photograph of my property in the survey?

The HomeBuyer Report and Building Survey both assess the roof of the property by using 'high powered' binoculars from ground level and telescopic camera mounts to identify any possible issues with the roof.

Aerial photographs do not tend to lend any further useful information on a property especially as these can now be obtained from the internet by a general user and it be considered better use of a surveyor's time inspecting the property in person.


Does your property look like this?

Thatched Roof Properties in Runwell
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 Runwell. 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.
