Flood alerts and warnings are issued from time to time for the areas around the northern, northwestern and western borders of Clapham (the Battersea borders), including for streets such as Robertson Street and Tennyson Street. 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). | Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Clapham area are particularly raised around the main thoroughfares leading to, away from and around Clapham Common including Clapham Common South Side, Clapham Common North Side and The Avenue. Raised levels of noise pollution from railways in the area accompany the main line passing through Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road stations, affecting streets close by such as Killyon Road and Ferndale Road. | Properties with chimney stacks in Clapham need special attention. Chimney stacks are particularly exposed to the weather and so regular maintenance must be carried out to ensure their stability and weathertightness. Scaffolding or other means of safe access may be required to carry out any future repairs and this could increase the cost of any repair significantly. In a recent survey of 121 Clapham Common North, SW4 9SP it was noted there was a shared chimney stack and before any repairs or alterations are carried out to it, you should discuss this with the neighbouring property as they will have rights in this regard. |

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Clapham and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
