Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
All properties in Brockley, including in streets such as Endwell Road and Sprules Road, are in an area which is subject to flood 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 Brockley. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Manor Avenue, SE4 1TE, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 250m 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 | Properties in some areas of Brockley are built in designated smoke control areas. A recent local authority search done for a dwelling in Manor Avenue, SE4 1TE noted that the property was in such a smoke control area. Under the terms of Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993, smoke emissions from all buildings are prohibited unless an exemption has been made by the Secretary of State under Section 21 of the Act. |
