Top tips for a Norbiton Home Buyers Survey
Norbiton has been a host to the Anglo-Saxon English heritage and the evidence of these is the vast quantity of Victorian and Edwardian family properties.
Some examples of these can be witnessed in Kingston Old Town which has been established since the 12th century. These Victorian properties can also be spotted walking down Thames Street and Eden Street.
Given the average age of the properties and the build-up of potential defects with the property, we would always recommend a level 3 Building Survey to identify any of these defects that could have arisen over the years. There was rapid expansion during the 19th century in and around the Norbiton area, especially with the introduction of new roads and improved rail communications.
From the Apple Market to Church Street, it is clear to see the remains of the old market place. This can be noticed from the later origins of these buildings and the smaller plots these have been built on.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Norbiton is located relatively close to the Thames water, thus the Norbiton area would be at risk of flooding and has a flood warning in force. It would be advisable to get a flood risk report (click for more details). | Due to being located comparatively near the Thames barrier there is the risk of flooding in Norbiton. Areas where sewer flooding is known to occur should not necessarily be seen as areas to avoid development as new sewerage capacity may be able to be provided to alleviate the problem. A HomeBuyer report can alleviate your stress with this as it will search the entire premise for damp as well as check the drainage. | A recent Environmental property search carried out for a property in Porchester Road, Kingston Upon Thames, KT1 3PS revealed there has been some recent cases of contaminative activities in the surrounding area. The activities could range from pollution to air, land or water; storage or disposal of radioactive substances; or storage of hazardous or explosive materials. |

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

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.
