Top tips for a Leeds Home Buyers Survey
Leeds is a city in West Yorkshire in northern England and its history dates back at least to the 5th century AD. It became a major centre for the wool trade in the 17th and 18th centuries and became a major mill town during the Industrial Revolution.
It has properties from many eras, including the Georgian, and has many Victorian terraces. More than 18,000 houses were built in the interwar period by the council on 24 estates in Cross Gates, Middleton, Gipton, Belle Isle and Halton Moor. The slums of Quarry Hill were replaced by the innovative Quarry Hill flats, which were demolished in 1975.
Another 36,000 houses were built by private sector builders, creating suburbs in Gledhow, Moortown, Alwoodley, Roundhay, Colton, Whitkirk, Oakwood, Weetwood and Adel. After 1949 a further 30,000 sub-standard houses were demolished by the council and replaced by 151 medium-rise and high-rise blocks of council flats in estates at Seacroft, Armley Heights, Tinshill and Brackenwood.
In recent times, many developments boasting luxurious penthouse apartments have been built close to the city centre. There are new build developments in areas like Wortley, Whinmoor, Rothwell, Great Preston and Wakefield and plenty of shared ownership opportunities.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Properties in Leeds which are built in close proximity to the River Aire, in streets like Thwaite Lane and Lockside 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). | According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Leeds, including streets such as Greenway Court Road and Pilgrims Way, 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.

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 Leeds 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.
