Top tips for a Altrincham Home Buyers Survey
Altrincham has many listed buildings; these give testament to the diversity of construction in the last few hundred years but also the build quality. One such building from the Georgian period is the Dunham Massey Hall (which has a deer park) which is Grade I listed. The Victorian Stamford Park, opened to the public in 1880, is listed as Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.
Numerous houses were built by various developers in the earlier part of the 20th century, most of which are relatively standard construction detached, semi-detached and terraced dwellings, such as can be found in Ashley Road, Bowdon and Bollin Drive, Timperley.
Altrincham was bombed heavily by the Luftwaffe during the second world war, however, as with much of the UK, the post-war economic boom ushered large numbers of house construction projects and in the 1960s, the town centre was rebuilt.
There are many modern developments also, such as the detached houses in Hartley Road.

The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
