Top tips for a Chobham Home Buyers Survey
Chobham's village has no railway line, hence its comparative lack of development compared to nearby areas like Sunningdale and Woking. St Lawrence Church on its High Street has parts dating from 1080.
It is a highly affluent area, with detached homes (and there are many large properties of this type) outnumbering semi-detached dwellings by more than 2:1 according to the census results of 2011.
There are many period properties in the area but relatively few purpose-built flats. A proposal has been lodged to develop the former Little Heath Nursery in Burr Hill such that will provide some affordable homes and shared ownership dwellings.

A recent local authority search for a property in Bagshot Road 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.

Do you need a RICS Building Survey for a new flat?
The RICS HomeBuyers Report is specifically designed to be an ideal home buyers survey for flats and bungalows and smaller, more modern properties in general.
Your RICS surveyor checks all areas that are accessible within the property for the report, notes any suspicions of property defects such as subsidence and damp and will give a general review of the construction and condition of the property.
The report also gives you a market valuation and reinstatement cost.
A RICS Building Survey is more suited to older properties, larger properties and/or those which have been extended and those made of non-standard construction materials.
