Top tips for a Keighley Home Buyers Survey
Like many other British towns and cities, Keighley was extensively remodelled in the 1960s and lost many historic buildings. However, the town managed to retain some of its heritage and has many Victorian buildings. The local millstone grit gives many of the buildings a distinctive look.
East Riddlesden Hall, Cliffe Castle Museum and Whinburn Mansion are fine examples of country houses. There are large town houses along Skipton Road which contrast with the cramped rows of terraces in the streets behind them. The town's central library was the first Carnegie library in England opened in 1904 with a grant of £10,000 from Andrew Carnegie. The library has undergone refurbishment which was completed in 2007. Many of the town's former mill buildings are still intact.
The town centre contains modern buildings such as Leeds City College and examples of Victorian commercial architecture, including the long terrace of Cavendish Street with its 220-yard (⅛ mile/a furlong) ornamental canopy. There is an award-winning bus station which opened in 2002 near the Airedale Shopping Centre. There are several tower blocks in Parkwood Rise, Holycroft and Ingrow and a central multi-storey car park. Among the modern houses in Laycock, 2 miles (3.2 km) outside Keighley town centre is a 17th-century three-storey manor house, converted barns and 18th-century cottages.

According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some areas in the locale of Keighley, including streets such as Hall ings and Nelson Street, is in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 1-3% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level). If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map. Click also to find out more about Radon, Radon property searches and much more. | Properties in Keighley built close to water courses such as Bradford Beck, Middle Brook, Clayton Beck, Bull Greave Beck and Pitty Beck among others, are in an area where flood alerts are issued 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). | When you're looking at buying a property, it's always advisable to purchase the appropriate defect survey and happily if the dwelling is relatively modern, of standard construction and not particularly large, a HomeBuyer Report not only serves this purpose well but also provides a valuation and a reinstatement value. One of our clients bought such a survey for a property they were looking to buy in Apperley Road BD10 9TP in the locale of Keighley. The report happily found no suspicions of any defects at all, which not only would have reassured the client but also their conveyancing solicitor. Addiitionally, in the unlikely event that you buy a HomeBuyer Report and defects are subsequently found in your property which your RICS surveyor should have found suspicions of, you are able to claim against that surveyor who must carry indemnity insurance at least to the value of the property they carry out a survey on. |

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Keighley and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
