Top tips for a Battersea Home Buyers Survey
Battersea has a large area of mid-20th century public housing estates, almost all located north of the main railway lines and spanning from Fairfield in the west to Queenstown in the east. St John’s Hill and Lavender Hill Roads form a dividing line between these social housing estates of North Battersea and the more affluent and more obviously Victorian-era streets of South Battersea.
Some of the estates in North Battersea were built in the brutalist concrete style of the 60s and 70s. There are newer developments springing up, some of which fall under the Help to Buy and shared ownership schemes.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Battersea and the surrounding garden. 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.
