Top tips for a Woolwich Home Buyers Survey
Woolwich, an area of southeast London which has the Thames bordering it to the north, has much social housing, where Right to Buy has been very prominent, but where Woolwich merges with Plumstead to the east and Charlton to the west, there are roads of Victorian terrace houses.
You can find converted flats in the Royal Herbert Pavilions off Shooters Hill Road. There is a small estate of Thirties semi-detached houses off Mereworth Drive at the top of Eglinton hill and there are also enclaves of Walter Segal self-build houses at Parish Wharf on Prospect Vale and Llanover Road.
There are many new developments, including Royal Arsenal Riverside, which is planned to provide more than 5,000 homes in the coming years consisting of period conversions and new builds.

All properties in Woolwich are in an area where flood alerts are issued from time to time and those built close to the River Thames, in streets such as Harlinger Street and Venus Road, are subject to flood warnings 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). |
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Woolwich, including streets such as Rodmere Street and Colomb Street, are in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 1-3% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level). If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map. Click also to find out more about Radon, Radon property searches and much more. |
Wind energy is one of several alternative energy sources; however, location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual and auditory impact on the surrounding area. A recent envirosearch stated that a property on the road of East Carriage House, Duke Of Wellington Avenue, London, SE18 6GP, was found to be within 4km of existing or proposed wind farms or wind turbines. |
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 happens if the conveyancing falls through before the survey takes place will I get a full refund?
If you need to cancel the survey for any reason at all you need to ensure that you have given the surveyor 48 hours’ notice before the survey takes place. If the surveyor has 48 or more hours’ notice then you will be provided with a full refund.
If however you only give the surveyor 24 hours’ notice then there will be a penalty of £50 due to the fact that the surveyor will not be able to fill that slot in time.
If you cancel on the same day as the Survey Date, or any time after the surveyor has attended the property then no refund is due however the report will be delivered in accordance with the terms agreed with the surveyor.
