Top tips for a Ickenham Home Buyers Survey
Ickenham is on the north-western edges of Greater London and is centred on an old village and contains some buildings dating from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. St Giles' church dates back to 1335 and Swakeleys House was built in 1638.
The area still has a village feel and has, for example a village water pump 'The Pump', next to pond and near to The Coach & Horses pub, which was built in the 16th century.
There are large detached houses around The Drive, bungalows in Highfield Drive and Victorian detached and semi-detached properties around Swakeleys Drive.

Properties in Ickenham which have been built close to the River Pinn, in roads such as Swakeleys Drive and Thornhill Road, are 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). | Overhead lines and phone masts can be contentious and may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. A recent Environmental Search stated that a property in Tanglewood Close, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB10 0DT, was within 250m of overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. | A recent Environmental Search for a property in Tanglewood Close, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB10 0DT, stated that the dwelling was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability. The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. 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 house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |
