Top tips for a Haringey Home Buyers Survey
Haringey's area includes attractions such as Alexandra Palace, built in 1873 (but rebuilt after a fire in 1875) and has very affluent areas such as Highgate and Muswell Hill but also more deprived areas in its east, such as Tottenham.
The more affluent areas have more period properties, such as large Georgian houses and Victorian terrace homes whereas many estates such as the Broadwater Farm in Tottenham were originally built in the late 1960s and 1970s, often in the brutalist style.

Many of the estates have been redeveloped, although some of the original tower blocks remain, such as Kenley Tower.

Properties in Haringey Borough built in close proximity to the River Lea and its tributaries and channels, in streets such as Craven Park Road and Watermint Quay, are in areas which are sometimes subject to flood warnings and 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). |
Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Haringey. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Roseberry Gardens, Haringey, London, N4 1JH, 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."

A recent Regulated Local Authority Search for a property in Stapleton Hall Road, Haringey, London N4 3QG, noted that there are proposals for a railway – Crossrail 2 – to be built within Haringey's boundaries. More information about this can be accessed via the Crossrail portal |
Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property aimed at pinpointing issues such as subsidence, damp, cracks, infestation and damage.
The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive and is highly recommended if you are looking at buying a property in Haringey.

Does a RICS surveyor perform asbestos testing?
The Survey is a visual assessment to help identify any potential issues.
The surveyor will inspect the property and if they have any suspicions of subsidence they will recommend that you get an asbestos specialist into the property.
The surveyor will inspect the property and if they have any suspicions of subsidence they will recommend that you get an asbestos specialist into the property.
The asbestos specialist will review of all accessible areas of the property to assess for asbestos and provide details of areas asbestos is potentially affecting along with taking samples and confirming if the material is asbestos.
We have asbestos surveyors covering Haringey and they are all qualified to British Occupational Hygiene Society P402 and some to S301 Standards.
All samples are analysed in a UKAS accredited laboratory.
At the end of the process you will know what level of asbestos is present and what it will cost for you or the vendor to remove it.

Does your property look like this?
If you have a crack similar to this in the property then you should be looking to instruct a Structural Engineer, instead of a RICS surveyor.
The reason being is that your property could have subsidence and although a RICS surveyor can confirm if they have a suspicion, they cannot confirm definitively if there is subsidence.
If the crack in the wall is more than 3mm (a 50p could fit in it), it is advisable to get a structural engineer in straight away over a RICS surveyor.
