"Competitively priced service, the agent I dealt with was very helpful. On the day of the survey itself I received a call from the surveyor to run through his initial findings. The quality of the report produced was excellent, very detailed and thorough. If needed I will be using SAM Conveyancing's services again in the future for sure."

Defects flagged in a Teddington Home Buyers Survey
Local Tip: Subsidence
Local Tip: Damp
RICS HomeBuyer Reports for properties in Teddington always remark on the services (gas, water electricity) connected to a home according to the visual inspection carried out.
A recent HomeBuyer Report for a property in Stanley Gardens Road noted that there was no ventilation system in the bathroom and that this could be a future threat because of the build-up of condensation and subsequent mould growth. The surveyor recommended that an appropriate ventilation system should be fitted accordingly.
Local Tip: Asbestos
Pollution from noise in the Teddington area is most notably raised where the railway line crosses (goes under) the main A313 and affects the streets surrounding this area, such as The Causeway, Church Lane and Sydney Road.

What defects are flagged in a Homebuyer's Survey?
Cracks are inspected and in the report will confirm if you need a structural engineer as there are signs of historical or current movement.
The RICS surveyor will use a moisture meter in the rooms and report any high levels along with any mould or damp causing damage to the walls/windows.
The wooden door frames and windows will be inspected for rotting and wood worm.
The surveyor looks for signs of infestations through droppings, damage to piping/flooring and in some cases finding where the nest is.
The surveyor will check the grounds of the property and, where possible, check over the fences to neighbouring plots to identify if there is a risk of Japanese knotweed.
The surveyor lifts up accessible man hole covers to check if the drains are blocked. You may need to get your drains inspected with CCTV.
The surveyor will enter into the roof/loft space if there is a safe and accessible ladder. They'll look for insulation, signs of leaking and and damage.
