Top tips for a Southall Home Buyers Survey
Southall is a large suburb in West London bordered by the Grand Union Canal to its east. Its Manor House in The Green dates back to at least 1587. The Grand Union Canal, built around 1796, caused a commercial boom as did the arrival of the railway in 1839, which encouraged further industrial development.
There are Victorian grand-fronted properties on the Uxbridge Road and Victorian semi-detached houses and terraces off King Street and off the main roads but housing stock is predominantly municipal, built firstly in the interwar period and then in the 1950s to the 1970s, not least to replace stock destroyed in the war.

Most housing is 2-storey and semi-detached or terrace, but there are some medium-rise tower blocks.
There are new purpose built blocks in St Bernard's Gate and being built at Southall Waterside and some developments offer shared ownership.

Properties in Southall which are built in close proximity to the Grand Union Canal, including streets such as Bullsbrook Road and Springfield Road, are in an area which is subject to flood warnings and 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). |
Overhead lines and phone masts can be contentious and may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. A recent Environmental Search stated that a property in Osterley Gardens, Chevy Road, Southall, Middlesex, UB2 4UW, was within 250m of overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. |
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Southall area mainly centre around the main road – A4020 Uxbridge Road, impacting roads and streets such as Oakwood Avenue and Milford Road. |
Middlesex is a county located in south east of England, however many parts of Middlesex are now commonly known as part of Greater London, with small sections in neighbouring counties.Strictly speaking Middlesex as a concept is only kept in existence by many people continuing to name it as a county on postal addresses and other contributors such as Middlesex County Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Lord's in St John's Wood, just outside Central London. It is still loved despite it not having any form of administrative function etc.
People hearing about Middlesex assume it was/is a large county because of the amount of Greater London territory (West and North London and Westminster, with the Thames as its southern boundary) which lies within its borders. It is actually the second smallest county in the UK. Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon system from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The largely low-lying county's soil is dominated by clay in its north and alluvium on gravel in its south.
Middlesex contains locations as diverse as Teddington (where the tidal Thames normally finishes), Enfield, Notting Hill, Ickenham, Ealing (where the famous film studios which produced so much early film comedy still exists), Hampstead and Southall.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A 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, if you are considering buying a property in Southall, incredibly important.

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).
