Top tips for a Silvertown Home Buyers Survey

Silvertown's housing is predominantly from the modern era: it has been continually redeveloped variously because of a notable explosion, the blitz and regeneration schemes.

There are still 'survivals' from the 20th century – landmarks such as Georges (sic) Diner and the Graving Dock Tavern still stand, just about, even if they are disused. Some of the factory buildings still standing date back to the Victorian era such as some of those related to the K-S and W Warehouses and the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery.

Modern developments – and there are many, both already built and in the pipeline – include the riverside Royal Wharf flats development (3,385 units) and the Millennium Mills. /div>


Survey Tip 1	Survey Tip 2	Survey Tip 3
Some properties in Silvertown's area may be subject to the affects of flooding from time to time. A recent property conveyancing Environmental Search taken out for a property in Terry Spinks Place, London E16 1YH revealed that it was within 0 - 25 metres of a risk of river and surface water flooding. The property therefore carries some risk of flood damage and higher insurance premiums required to guard against flooding events.	Although your RICS surveyor does not carry out any in-depth testing of utilities during an inspection for a HomeBuyers Report, they will flag up any suspicions they have given what is visible. In a recent such report carried out on a property in Western Gateway, London E16 1AR, the surveyor noted that the extractor fan in the bathroom was not working (it was switched on) and that they were unable to find the isolator switch. They advised the client involved that they would have to repair the equipment soon.	A Local Authority property conveyancing searc is excellent for bringing your solicitor's attention if there are any building control documents logged in relation to a particular property; they can then ensure that these correlate to the property itself (or alternatively they can then work out if a property has been modified without proper building control authorisation. A recent such report taken out for a property in Docklands Road, E16 2QU revealed that there were building control documents logged for it, which the solicitor can easily inspect (in this case, a rewire and repairs to the roofing were carried out satisfactorily).

Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.

Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.

Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

What equipment does a surveyor use?

RICS Surveyors are equipped with a core set of devices and tools to assist in their inspections of properties that are geared towards uncovering defects which may affect the property’s value or the buyers decision.

The equipment can be split into categories such as; equipment for recording information, measuring equipment, equipment for assessing remote and concealed areas and Health and Safety equipment.

Additional tools can include large screwdrivers, hammers, small crowbars, bolsters, mirrors on extendable poles, borescopes (or boroscopes - tools which allow remote visual inspection of entities such as drains and pipes) and metal detectors to help provide in-depth reports to clients prior to them exchanging contracts.
