Raised levels of noise pollution from roads and railways in Holloway are most often observed in the Holloway Road area between Tollington Way and Holloway Road tube station and particularly between the junctions between Seven Sisters Road and Tollington Road (for road) and around Holloway tube station/Holloway Road (for rail – this is where the overland railway crosses the Holloway Road). | Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Holloway area mainly centre around the main road – A1, Holloway Road, impacting roads such as Biddestone Road and Warltes Road. | Checking the gas boiler is something a RICS surveyor can do by turning on the hot water and the heating, however they are not gas engineers so cannot test the boiler. You should always obtain the boiler installation certificate and the maintenance details from the seller during the conveyancing process. If you need the gas checking, a local gas engineer in Holloway is I.C. Boilers,they are based in London and cover the whole area. |
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.

Why should I have a RICS Survey?
The survey should assist the buyer by flagging any concerns identified with the property which may allow them to make a reasoned and informed decision on whether to proceed with their purchase.
The report will detail any repairs or replacements identified and will also advise where further specialist advice may be necessary.
The property is inspected both internally and externally however the surveyor is only able to inspect areas where access has been provided and visibility has not been impeded.
If a buyer has any specific concerns they have identified, these should be flagged with the surveyor prior to inspection so that they can confirm that these can form part of the report and comment on them accordingly.
