Top tips for a Bellingham Home Buyers Survey
Bellingham was relatively undeveloped until the railway arrived in 1892. There were very few houses originally but the London County Council built the Bellingham Estate, which was a cottage estate, between 1920 and 1936 – around 2,666 houses and flats were built.
Most of the houses, however, were 2-storey, semi-detached or terrace, with gardens. More flats were built when Southend Lane was constructed between 1936 and 1939.
There are new developments of 1,2 and 3-bedroom apartments in nearby Catford Green and there have been shared ownership sales of some of the new properties being built in Prospect Quarter (the old Catford Stadium) are being sold as shared ownership.

Properties in Bellingham which are situated close to the Pool River in streets such as Meadowview Road and Worsley Bridge Road are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time.

The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 5-10% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level).

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’s the difference between the HomeBuyer Report and a Building Survey?
The HomeBuyer Report is a survey carried out on smaller properties of a simpler design such as purpose built flats, bungalows, maisonettes and post-1950s houses of standard construction.
The HomeBuyer Report comes in a standard format and can give a great general view regarding a property's construction and condition.
The HomeBuyer Report comes in a standard format and can give a great general view regarding a property's construction and condition.
In contrast, Building Surveys are bespoke and better suited to larger and/or older properties where the original construction material may have degraded and requires further commenting on outside of the scope of a HomeBuyer Report.
Does your property look like this?
The Level 2: HomeBuyer Report or a snagging report is ideal for a new build property.
You core goal is to ensure the developers have completed the build to the standard that you have agreed between you and them.
There are often cases where the developers builder miss certain areas, or the finish isn't quite to the standard you want, so a surveyor will look to pick up on items that the developer needs to address either before completion (if you have the time to do so) or afterwards by agreement.
