Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Properties in Maidstone which are situated close to the River Medway in streets such as College Avenue and Bridge Mill Way, 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). | Properties in some areas of Maidstone may be affected by environmental constraints. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Roseholme and Sandling Lane revealed that the property was within 250m of an area likely to be impacted by environmental constraints. These included Local Nature Reserves - Fant and Anciebt Woodland - Sandling Wood. Areas which have been designated as having environmental or historical importance may impose constraints on property or land developments or alterations. | Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Maidstone. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Hughenden Reach, ME15 6ZL, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 250m of the property. This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "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."

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 Maidstone 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.
