"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."

HomeBuyers Report Kingsbury
Local Tip 1
Properties in Kingsbury which are built in close proximity to a tributary of Wealdstone Brook, including streets such as Kinross Close and Clifton Road, is in an area which is subject to flood 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).

Local Tip 2
Some properties in Kingsbury are located nearby to areas to be explored for their energy potential by the oil & gas industry – they must be licensed by the Oil and Gas Authority – and such exploration includes areas subject to hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") investigation.

A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Oak Tree Dell, NW9 0AB, for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of a well used for energy exploration or extraction.

If you are buying with a mortgage, when your main property searches are returned, they may advise you to get an additional Energy & Infrastructure Report (click for more information).
Surveyor Kingsbury
Local Tip 3
When a RICS surveyor carries out either a building survey or a homebuyer report on a property in the Kingsbury area, they might notice signs that the dwelling has an infestation problem. If this is the case, they will advise that a qualified pest control company comes to the property to fix the problem.

A local pest control company near the Kingsbury area is Pestop, 44 West Hill, Wembley London, HA9 9RS.
