Top tips for a Lambeth Home Buyers Survey
Lambeth has many high-rise buildings. The area's population was already rapidly increasing before the railway arrived in the 1840s. Property was extensively damaged in the bombing raids of the 2nd world war – the Victorian Swimming Baths were completely destroyed by a V2 rocket – but there are some survivals, such as part of the Lambeth Ragged School building (built 1851) which is occupied by the Beaconsfield Gallery.
The oldest building in Lambeth is the church of St Mary-at-Lambeth – home of the Garden Museum – while it has been rebuilt more than once, parts of it date back to pre-Norman times.
There are very modern luxury developments in the area such as the Aykon London One tower block in the Bondway. Shared ownership is available in some developments, such as can be found in, for example, Courtenay Street.

Properties built in Lambeth are in an area where flood warnings and alerts are issued from time to time, due to the locale's close proximity to the River Thames. 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). | According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some areas in the vicinity of Lambeth, including streets such as Magee Street and Bowling Green Street, are 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.

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 Lambeth 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.
