Top tips for a Neasden Home Buyers Survey
Neasden is an area of northwest London in Brent Borough and the area developed quickly from being a hamlet from when the railway arrived in 1880. New housing, initially for railway workers, was built in the village (particularly around Village Way) with all the streets named after Metropolitan Railway stations in Buckinghamshire.
The building of the North Circular Road and the British Empire Exhibition in the 1920s provided further spurs to housing growth and the building of a new residential suburb. Building has occurred sporadically since then, most notably when a block of flats was built in the 1990s on the site of the Grange Tavern.
New build developments include the apartments in Mark Twain Drive.

Properties in Neasden which are built very close to the River Brent, in streets such as Quainton Street and Verney Street, are in an area where flood warnings and alerts are issued 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). | A recent Environmental Search for a property in Harp Island Close, London, NW10 0DQ, stated that the dwelling was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability. The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. 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. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. | Some areas are designated as having environmental or historical importance; as such there may be constraints on property or land developments or alterations. A recent envirosearch reported that a property in Harp Island Close, Neasden, London, NW10 0DQ, was within 250m of an area likely to be impacted by environmental constraints. |
Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are considering buying a property in Neasden, incredibly important.

I want a survey but the vendor cannot provide access
This is a recurring problem especially with the increase in online estate agents who do not take responsibility for access and rely on the vendors to make themselves available.
On occasion access issues may be due to vendors being away or sometimes simply because they do not want to take time off to allow access for a survey.
Buyers should ensure they complete all their property checks prior to exchange and the RICS survey forms an integral part of these checks.
Delays with vendors providing access can delay the whole conveyancing process. It is important to establish what the issue is to see whether a solution can be found.
If vendors are not available, suggest that the keys are left with the estate agent for collection or alternatively see if the vendor can arrange for a friend or family member to be at the property to allow access.
