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.

Survey Tip 1

Survey Tip 3

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.

LondonMiddlesex 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.

Does a surveyor report on signs of infestation?

A RICS surveyor will always highlight any signs or suspicions of infestations during their inspection of a property, whether this is the visible signs of droppings, jagged markings from insect tunnelling or burrowings.

The main culprits of infestation in property are rats and mice, woodworm and termites, dry/wet rot and Japanese Knotweed and surveyors will highlight signs of these to you over the phone or within their report and will always direct you to a specialist to ascertain the remedy for removal.
