Top tips for a Bushey Home Buyers Survey
Bushey is a town in the Hertsmere Borough of Hertfordshire, just to the northwest of London's boundary.
The 19th and 20th centuries marked the time of most change in Bushey, especially between 1860 and 1960. The population rose 28-fold within 200 years, from 856 in 1801, to just under 24,000 today. The expansion was for many reasons, one of the main ones being due to the boom in industry caused by the railway in the early 20th century.
In the early 1920s, Bushey's first council houses were built. More housing was later built for the service families working in defence organisations in Stanmore and Northwood.
Housing is a mix of semi-detached and terraces with a fair number of larger detached houses, with most properties being built between the 1930s and 1960s. Wayside Avenue and other roads around Little Bushey Lane around Bushey Heath have some very large detached and semi-detached houses.
New build developments include Sandbrook Park in Rossway Drive, which are essentially upmarket family homes.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
When you get a mortgage your mortgage lender requires you to pay for a survey valuation of the property.
The aim of this survey is to give the mortgage lender reassurance that the property is worth what you are paying.
Although you pay for the mortgage valuation survey, it belongs to the mortgage lender and often you won't be allowed to see it.

It is paramount that when buying a property in Bushey, Watford or Aldenham you get your own HomeBuyers Survey that reports on defects or potential issues with the property; either a HomeBuyers Report or a Building Survey.
Buying without a survey could leave you exposed to any repair costs or defects that you didn't spot. Defects such as subsidence can cost thousands to repair and would affect your future sale price if not repaired.
