Top tips for a Northwood Home Buyers Survey
Northwood is a fairly affluent area in northwest London in Hillingdon Borough which became a village (from a hamlet) in the 19th century and by 1891 had 115 houses, which rose to around 500 houses and a 2,500 population by 1901.
Northwood Station on the Metropolitan Line opened in 1887, which provided impetus for expansion. The Emmanuel Church was built in 1895.
Houses around the old High Street, Chester Road and Hallowell Road include Victorian houses made with quality brickwork, many of which are listed. There are large detached properties, both period and very modern, in Eastbury, particularly Eastbury Avenue. The area contains much housing stock built during the 1930s. The first houses were built in Potter Street.
There are new build developments in Lowswood Close, Copshill Way and Ducks Hill Road, which are predominantly large and detached properties.

Properties in Northwood which are built in close proximity to the feeders and tributaries of the River Colne, including streets such as St Mary's Road and Station Approach, are in an area which is subject to flood 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 Northwood, including streets such as Hallowell Road and Highfield Road, are 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 Northwood 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.
