"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."

Defects flagged in a Milton Keynes Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Milton Keynes
Local Tip 1
Dwellings in the vicinity of Grand Union Canal, which snakes around the northern borders of Milton Keynes from the west and then passes through it, in streets such as Simpson Road and Grove Way, are subject to flood warnings and alerts.

This is also the case for homes near to the River Ouzel and the River Great Ouse.

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
There are a number of new build developments in Milton Keynes. New Build properties should come with a new build insurance guarantee.

The surveyor will inform you to check that you have sight of the guarantee. Most commonly the insurance is through NHBC or Zurich, or a similar insurance provider.

Local Tip 3
Natural slate is used frequently for properties in and around Milton Keynes. They are formed by very thin layers of rock being bonded together. Poorer quality slates may contain impurities which react with water and force the layers apart. This “delaminating” is common on the underside of the slates. Slate can last anything up to 100 years or more depending on the quality, source, thickness and the skill with which it was cut. They are normally held by nails via holes drilled either close to one end or at the centres and are more vulnerable to gale damage.

Types of property in Milton Keynes?


Milton Keynes has period homes from the time that the area consisted of a number of towns and villages, and modern properties.

Stony Stratford, Woburn and Olney have many of these period homes and Wolverton has many Victorian terrace houses.

There are many thousand new build houses under construction in Broughton Gate and Brooklands. Many of these, such as Plantain Court and Columbia Place in Cambell Park, offer shared ownership resale.
