Top tips for a Englefield Green Home Buyers Survey
Englefield Green is a Surrey village which hosts the wonderful Jacobite-fronted Royal Holloway College of the University of London and is next to Windsor Great Park and borders Egham.
It developed from a hamlet in the 19th century and had some impetus for growth when the railway arrived at Egham station, around 1 mile away, in the mid-19th century.
There are many Victorian semi-detached and terrace houses such as in Northcross Road, Bond Street and Alexandra Road and large detached houses from various periods in Wick Road, Wick Lane and Bishopsgate Road. Some are period, some have been redesigned or have been built recently.
Some of the modern properties in Wick Road have been sold as shared ownership apartments.

Some areas around the Royal Holloway University side of Englefield Green, such as parts of Prune Hill and Clarence Street, which are in close proximity to tributaries, channels and feeders of the River Thames, are 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). | Your RICS surveyor inspects drains during a survey of a property in Englefiled Green, where the drain cover is accessible and on the site of the property. If the drains are reported to be blocked you may need to employ a drainage company to inspect the drains with CCTV such as Drain Doctor Plumbing, Twickenham, TW20 0QU. | Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Englefield Green. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Quincy Road, 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."

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.
