Top tips for a Brent Home Buyers Survey
Brent's housing is a diverse mix.
You can find many Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, particularly on the high streets of areas such as Harlesden and Willesden Green.
There are a number of large residential estates such as the St Raphael's Estate, the Chalkhill Estate and the Stonebridge Estate (many of these have been modernised in recent years), and numerous semi-detached properties built from the 1930s onwards.
Larger, detached housing can be found in areas like Queen's Park, Preston, Kenton and Queensbury. There are also a number of Georgian period properties. Terraced Georgian properties can be found in Cricklewood Lane, Harrow Road and Brent Street. Larger Georgian properties can be found in Blenheim Gardens, Willesden Lane and Smyrna Road.
There are modern shared ownership developments such as in Maple House and Redwood House (both in the Emerald Gardens development) near Wembley Park station.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Properties in Brent which are built close to the water courses of the Wealdstone Brook, the River Brent and the Silk Stream 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). | Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Brent. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Dryfield Close, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m of the property. This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built." Click to find out more about subsidence | Some properties in Brent may be located in an area which is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). A recent local authority search for a property in King George Crescent revealed that it was within a CIL area. The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area.
