Top tips for a Eton Wick Home Buyers Survey
Eton Wick is a village in Berkshire which has a long and strong association with the world famous college of the same name. It had a sparse population up until the 1880s so most housing there dates from then onwards.
There are many Victorian properties; detached, semi-detached, terraces and cottages, which can all be seen in Alma Road. There are also post-war 1950s and onwards semi-detached houses.
Very modern developments are few, however the Gables in Stonebridge Field is one such recent example – a set of luxury apartments/townhouses in a gated community.

Most properties in Eton Wick are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time as the area is located in a flood plain with the Jubilee River to the north and the Thames to the south. 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). | Section F3 of a RICS HomeBuyer Report considers walls and partitions and can include critical information regarding matters such as damp, for which readings are taken, if you're looking to buy a property in Eton Wick. In a recent RICS HomeBuyer Report for a property in Alma Road, the RICS surveyor noted the following: "High moisture readings were recorded at low level to either front corner of the reception room and to the left wall of the area below the dog leg of the staircase. These are symptomatic of rising dampness and we would therefore advise that a reputable damp proofing expert is instructed to survey the affected areas and that any recommendations are instigated."
