"Competitively priced service, the agent I dealt with was very helpful. On the day of the survey itself I received a call from the surveyor to run through his initial findings. The quality of the report produced was excellent, very detailed and thorough. If needed I will be using SAM Conveyancing's services again in the future for sure."

Defects flagged in a Holland Park Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Holland Park
Local Tip 1
A recent Environmental Search report bought for a property in Cheesemans Terrace W14 9XA in the Holland Park area revealed that the property a client was looking to buy was at a potential risk of surface water flooding within 250m of the property and also that there was a risk of flooding within the same distance again from rivers and sea. These findings are important for considering overall flood risks when you're considering buying a property and your solicitor can frame further enquiries if necessary and you can also assess the potential impact on your buildings insurance premiums.

Local Tip 2
Parish church claims on parishioners for chancel repair, where these occur, can be fairly costly, with individual households possibly being legally required to pay £1,000s.

Buying a chancel repair indemnity insurance policy for a property you're looking to buy is an easy and efficient way of protecting yourself against this possible eventuality and among many others, one such policy was taken out for a property in Cheesemans Terrace, Holland Park, London W14 9XA. This policy generally costs around £20 to buy and normally covers the policy holder for claims to the limit of £1 million.

Local Tip 3
Buying a Local Authority Search is an excellent way for you and your conveyancing solicitor to find out about what planning permission applications and building control sign-offs have been lodged with the relevant local authority. Such a search, bought by a prospective client for a property in Caxton Road, London W12 8AJ, revealed that planning permission had been sought for an additional floor extension, a rear extension, a roof terrace, a broadband cabinet and double gates. Building control sign-off had been obtained for the removal of a load bearing wall and a Fensa certificate lodged for the installation of 4 double-glazed windows.

These details are particularly useful if you or your surveyor think there's an anomaly which necessitates further enquiries from your solicitor which might ultimately end in you bargaining for a reduction in the selling price or even pulling out of a purchase.

Types of property in Holland Park?


Holland Park's district was rural until the 19th century, and most of the area now referred to by the name Holland Park was formerly the grounds of a Jacobean mansion called Holland House. The area is principally composed of tree-lined streets with large Victorian townhouses. The street of Holland Park is formed from three linked roads constructed between 1860 and 1880 in projects of master builders William and Francis Radford, who were contracted to build and built over 200 houses in the area. Notable nineteenth-century residential developments in the area include the Royal Crescent and Aubrey House.

Difference between a level 2 and level 3 house survey
A Level 2 HomeBuyers Report is for newer, conventional properties. A Level 3 Building Survey is for a comprehensive analysis, for older or larger properties.

Is a homebuyers survey worth it?
For conventional properties, a HomeBuyers Survey is invaluable. Identified defects can be used as leverage during price negotiations with the seller and can save 1000s of pounds.
