Top tips for a Teddington Home Buyers Survey
Teddington, famous for its lock where the tidal Thames meets the fresh water Thames, is a pretty riverside town. Its housing stock is mainly from the Victorian period, whether larger detached houses or cottages, but there are examples of properties from all the periods since then.
There are, for example, superb modern flats in Cambridge House, which overlooks Bushy Park. The area does have council houses, such as can be found in Queens Road, where properties are in the form of medium-rise flats, built in the interwar period. .

Properties in Teddington built in close proximity to the River Thames such as in Kingston Road, Strawberry Vale and Broom Road have been 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). |
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. |
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. |
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.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey, inspects both the inside and the outside of your property and searches in particular for subsidence, damp, infestations and any cracks or other damage to the property.
The procedure is non-intrusive. It is highly recommended that you get one, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are thinking of buying a property in Teddington.

If the Home Buyers Survey shows up any such problems in your property in Teddington, our appointed surveyor will explain to you what you should do to get more in-depth information about the type and scope of the matter and what is required to fix it.
If you are worried about any defects that you think your property has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might grow to many thousands of pounds as time progresses.

What happens if your surveyor finds signs of damp?
If your RICS surveyor flags issues with damp during your defect survey then your next course of action is to contact a damp specialist. The damp surveyor will inspect internal and external walls and floorboards for visible signs of moisture using something called a moisture meter. Finally the surveyor will take a sample of the porous material by drilling into the wall, to see how damp it is.
If you are carrying out the damp survey as part of your due diligence before you buy the property, it is reasonable to ask the seller to cover the costs in your negotiations as the damp will have been worsening during the current owner's tenancy.
Does your property look like this?
Asbestos prohibition laws in the United Kingdom were first introduced in the mid-1980s. In 1985, the UK banned the import and use of blue (crocidolite) and brown (amosite) asbestos. This means if your property was built 1980's and older, it could contain asbestos. Both a Level 3: Building Survey and the Level 2: HomeBuyer Report will flag signs of asbestos, however if you know there is asbestos then you should go straight for getting an Asbestos Survey. This survey will test the suspect material, whereas a RICS surveyor does not test during their inspection.
