Top tips for a Woodford Home Buyers Survey
Woodford is essentially a series of villages in northeast London spread out along Woodford New Road, the High Road, Woodford Green and Chigwell Road, embracing South Woodford, Woodford Green, Woodford Wells and Woodford Bridge.
It has a few grand period houses from the days when Woodford was more rural and the province of a few wealthy City merchants, but it mainly has a mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and Twenties and Thirties detached, semi-detached and terrace houses, along with new-build flats.
Manor Road's listed Victorian former Claybury Hospital has, for example, been converted into 850 new flats and houses and Centurion Court in The Drive has 10 new 2-bedroom flats. There are 294 homes in the converted Walthamstow Stadium in Chingford Road of which 99 are being sold as shared ownership.
There are large Victorian houses in Broomhill Road and Monkhams Estate has detached and semi-detached Edwardian and 1920s houses.

Properties in Woodford which are built in close proximity to the River Roding, in streets like Snakes Lane East and Glastonbury Avenue, are 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). |

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 equipment does a surveyor use?
RICS Surveyors are equipped with a core set of devices and tools to assist in their inspections of properties that are geared towards uncovering defects which may affect the property’s value or the buyers decision.
The equipment can be split into categories such as; equipment for recording information, measuring equipment, equipment for assessing remote and concealed areas and Health and Safety equipment.
Additional tools can include large screwdrivers, hammers, small crowbars, bolsters, mirrors on extendable poles, borescopes (or boroscopes - tools which allow remote visual inspection of entities such as drains and pipes) and metal detectors to help provide in-depth reports to clients prior to them exchanging contracts.
