Southend-on-Sea has some areas, mainly coastal, where dwellings have been subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. This is also the case with some of the channels linked to the River Roach: dwellings in streets like Wyatts Drive and Colbert Road are equally subject to flood warnings and alerts. 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). |
A recent Environmental Search for a property in Wilson Road, Southend-on-Sea SS1 1HG noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability in the area within 50m of the property. This finding did not necessarily mean that there was a cause for concern in terms of the property's stability: active subsidence depends on local conditions such as the proximity of trees. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |
Some properties in Southend-on-Sea are located nearby to existing or proposed sites for solar farms. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in South Crescent, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6TB for example, flagged up that the property was built within 2km of existing or proposed solar farms. The location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual impact. |
Essex 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.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
People, particularly first time buyers, have been known to confuse a mortgage valuation with a HomeBuyers Survey. This confusion can prove costly and end up in a home buyer having to spend money on expensive repair costs which should have been divided up with the seller with this reflected in a reduction in the original sale price. Your lender conducts its own mortgage valuation to calculate the value of the property you are trying to buy in Southend on Sea and this is in no sense a report on structural defects.
A HomeBuyers Survey notes defects as well as including a full valuation of a property independently of the mortgage lender or anyone else. The information in it can be used to get quotes for the cost of fixing any issues and presents evidence for bargaining with the seller about sharing repair costs, if appropriate, or even deciding not to go ahead with buying a property. Call 0333 344 3234 and speak to our experts to book your HomeBuyers Survey.
