Top tips for a Stevenage Home Buyers Survey

Stevenage is a new town in Hertfordshire where the large modern development dates back to the late 1940s, however it was a village, along with others near it, in its own right prior to that but there are few period survivors in property terms, and those tend to be in the older surrounding villages and the old town, such as the detached Victorian properties in Hitchin Road and Southwold, Symonds Green and in Tatlers Lane.

Properties in the new town have therefore nearly all been built in the latter half of the 20th century. There are 1960s brutalist-style high-rise blocks such as Southgate House but much of the housing in the new estates is low-rise apartments or terrace housing, such as you find in Mendip Way or around Great Ashby or Longfields.

New build developments include the detached houses in Marlborough Road and off Broad Oak Way and flats, for example George House in Primett Road.

Properties in Stevenage which are built in close proximity to the River Beane, in streets such as Benington Road and Ford Lane, are in an area where flood warnings and alerts are issued 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).	When a surveyor carries out a RICS home buyers survey, they may report suspicions of infestation. They may advise that a qualified pest control company comes to the property to sort out the problem. A local pest control company operating within the Stevenage area is E.R.D Pest Control Services, 8 Unwin Rd, Stevenage SG2 9SX.	Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Stevenage area mainly centre around the main road – A1, also affecting nearby streets and roads such as Gunnels Wood Road and Knebworth Park.

Hertfordshire is commonly abbreviated to the name Herts and is a county located in the south of England. it is bordered by Bedfordshire to the north, Cambridgeshire to the north-east, Essex to the east, Buckinghamshire to the west and Greater London to the south (it is classed as a 'Home County' for this reason). The county town of Hertfordshire is Hertford.

Hertfordshire has 3 motorways running through it - the M1, the M25 and the A1(M). It is particularly associated with new towns as it contains 5 in total: Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield and Letchworth. There are two airports just outside Hertfordshire's borders; Luton and Stansted. It also has a university, the University of Hertfordshire, which is in Hatfield. There are a number of independent schools in the area, including, for example, Haileybury (Turnford), St George's Harpenden, Haberdasher's Aske's (Elstree) and Berkhamsted.

For random facts; St Alban, who gave his name to the city in the county, was the earliest British saint - he was reputed to have been beheaded where the cathedral now stands; also Sele Mill near Hertford was the site of the first paper mill in Britain, established about 1488.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

A RICS Home Buyers Survey identifies many different defects or potential risks that can be found within a property and is an essential part of any home buying process.

The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is completed by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) registered surveyor so they are fully trained to provide you with the detail you need to buy your home.

Why can’t I have a Building Survey on a flat?

As a rule, flats/maisonettes/post 1950s standard construction properties are best suited to HomeBuyer Reports.

The surveyor has substantially less to check and remark upon when surveying these types of property, additionally more modern buildings benefit from better construction techniques in the main.

To carry out a full Building Survey on a property such as this would be overkill, whereas a Homebuyer Report is designed for and is more than adequate for completing the task and, most importantly, for reporting any signs or suspicions of defects.

Does your property look like this?

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 Stevenage. 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.
