Top tips for a Streatham Home Buyers Survey
Streatham shares much in common with other South London suburbs in that most of its buildings date back to the Victorian era. Wellfield Road and Sunnyhill Road still have the classic terraced houses and large homes which hail from that period.
Large numbers of flat blocks along the High Road were built in the 1930s and there are a fair few highly modern developments many of which offer Shared Ownership flats and housing which can be bought under the Help to Buy scheme.

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). |
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some buildings in an area to the north and east of the Streatham area, including parts of Coburg Crescent and Palace Road, are in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map.

A common feature for homes in Streatham are a canopy at the front entrance which is built of timber and the roof is formed in two slopes which are covered with bitumen felt having a mineralised surface.

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.

What is the difference between the Building Survey and the HomeBuyers Report?
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is a standard traffic light format, and is different to a Building Survey in many ways. The HomeBuyers report is suitable for standard construction properties post 1950 such as bungalows and flats.
The Level 3: Building Survey is essential for larger or older properties that have had any extensions or alterations from their original build, or if you’re planning major works. The Building Survey comes in a more detailed report and included photos and explanations.
