Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Wilmslow
Wilmslow grew in popularity in the Victorian era as railways were built which meant it became easily commutable for North West businessmen. Wilmslow station opened in 1842 and became electrified in 1959. This was due to the West Coast Main Line electrification and modernisation program. As a result this means there are many beautiful Victorian properties including those on Fulshaw Park and The Avenue. Many large grand properties reside in Wilmslow which makes it a very desired place to live.
There are many new builds in Wilmslow including those in the new development, Pavillion Gardens, as well as The Larches which are in large 4 or 5 bedroom, detached houses. There are also flats available on streets such as Chapel Lane and Alderley Road.
The River Bollin Runs through Wilmslow which means some streets are subkect to flood risks and alerts. Some of these streets include River Street, Styal Road and Manchester Road.
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).

Do I get aerial photos of my property as part of my survey?
Your surveyor will take photographs of your roof as part of your survey. These may form part of a Building Survey or may be referred to in a Homebuyer Report.
These photos are not aerial photos; they are normally taken from ground level and possibly from using a device which enables photos to be taken from an upper window.
The surveyor takes photos as part of their checking of the property for defects; they will inspect all accessible areas in order to do this, including the drains and the loft (if this is present and they can get to it).
Level 2: HomeBuyer Report with a Valuation
A HomeBuyer Report is a good general inspection for new properties, flats, bungalows and other properties of standard construction. The majority of Wilmslow's leasehold flats require only a HomeBuyers Report but for any Victorian conversions, a Building Survey may well be required.
Level 3: Building Survey
In the main, houses in Wilmslow which are over 50 years old, have been developed or have an unusual style justify booking a Building Survey as this is the most comprehensive visual inspection a RICS surveyor can provide.
