Top tips for a Stockwell Home Buyers Survey
Stockwell has been extensively rebuilt, particularly around the tube station, after the 2nd world war, although you can still find a fair amount of the influence of the Victorian era, such as Victorian terrace houses, around Stockwell Park Road, Stockwell Park Crescent, Durand Gardens and Albert Square.
The area contains much social housing in estates such as Lansdowne Green, Stockwell Park, Studley and Spurgeon; these were built in eras between the 1930s and the 1970s and some have had further redevelopment.
There are luxurious new flat developments in the Wandsworth Road area and shared ownership is offered in many places, such as Oak Square.

Properties in the Stockwell area which are located to the west of the A3036 Wandsworth Road, built in streets such as Thorparch Road and Cowthorne Road, are in areas which are 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). |
Properties in some areas of Stockewell are built in designated smoke control areas. A recent local authority search done for a dwelling in Clapham Road, SW9 9AR noted that the property was in such a smoke control area. Under the terms of Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993, smoke emissions from all buildings are prohibited unless an exemption has been made by the Secretary of State under Section 21 of the Act. |
Properties in various parts of Stockwell, including streets such as Clapham Road and Savoy Mews, may well be affected by the Transport for London schemes. If you are buying a property in the area and this is of concern to you, you may well wish to consider purchasing an Energy & Infrastructure Report. or a report specific to either of the two rail schemes mentioned. |
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.

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, incredibly important when you are considering buying a home in Stockwell.

How long does your survey take?
We book the earliest possible slot for your RICS surveyor to carry out their inspection for your RICS home buyers survey. Then, on the day, they visit the property and inspect all accessible areas, concentrating on signs and suspicions of defects and issues.
The actual time your surveyor takes over the inspection varies with each property – you can imagine that one for a small flat for a HomeBuyers Report will normally take less than one for a large mansion for a Building Survey. It is likely to be anything between 1 ½ hours to 3 hours.
SAM Conveyancing's RICS surveyors call you on the day of the inspection after carrying it out to go over any major concerns and findings and then they complete the report and return it to you within 5 working days.
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 Stockwell. 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.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
