Top tips for a Willesden Home Buyers Survey

Willesden is an area in northwest London in Brent Borough. It grew rapidly in the 1890s with the arrival of the Metropolitan Line (then called the Metropolitan Railway).

There are large family houses in the Mapesbury Conservation Area and Brondesbury Park, particularly around Walm Lane and Chichele Road. There are Victorian terrace houses near Willesden Green station in streets such as Melrose Avenue, Riffel Road, Chandos Road and Cranhurst Road.

New build developments include Gladstone Village off St Michael’s Road overlooking Gladstone Park, which is a development of 34 (eight shared ownership) two-, three- and four-bedroom houses and one- and two-bedroom flats.


Survey Tip 1	Survey Tip 2	Survey Tip 3
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Willesden area mainly centre around the junction of the High Road and Dudden Hill Lane.	When a RICS surveyor carries out either a building survey or homebuyer report in the Willesden area, they will switch the lights on and off but not test the whole electrical system. If they suspect that there is an electrical problem, they will recommend that you consult a local electrical contractor. A local electrician within the Willesden area is Culkin Plumbing and Heating, 29b Chandos Road, London, NW2 4LS.	Some properties in Willesden are located nearby to areas to be explored for their energy potential by the oil & gas industry – they must be licensed by the Oil and Gas Authority – and such exploration includes areas subject to hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") investigation. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Wendover Road, NW10 4RX, for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of a well used for energy exploration or extraction. If you are buying with a mortgage, when your main property searches are returned, they may advise you to get an additional Energy & Infrastructure Report (click for more information).

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?

There are two types of survey, the HomeBuyer Report and the Building Survey. The Building survey is essential for larger or older properties that have had any structural alterations from their original build whereas the HomeBuyers Report is suitable for properties of standard construction and properties that are under 70 years old.

Both Surveys cover the same aspects they are just go into different depths within their report. The Building Survey is the highest visual assessment you can get and goes into a through structural investigation into the construction and fabric of the property, this is a very detailed report and comes with explanations and photos (if the surveyor provides photos in their reports - some don't) and the HomeBuyers report gives a good general review of the property to help identify any defect however this is formatted in a traffic light format, red highlighting any major issues, amber less so and green everything is fine.

Building Survey in Willesden

Most freehold houses in Willesden that are over 50 years old, that have been refurbished/developed or are unusual in style should get a Building Survey. A Building Survey used to be called the Full Structural Survey and is the most comprehensive visual inspection a surveyor can provide. Choosing a HomeBuyers Report when you should have a Building survey can be costly if key defects don't get reported in the detail you require.
