Top tips for a Norwood Green Home Buyers Survey
Norwood Green is a suburban enclave south of Southall and is bounded by the Grand Union Canal to the north. It centres on a green of the same name. Nearby St Mary's Church and the Plough pub were originally built in the 12th century, although both have been substantially rebuilt over the years and the timber framing of the pub dates back to the 17th century.
Although there are Victorian properties around, predominantly the area consists of semi-detached properties built between the 1920s and 1950s, although many of these have been extended, so you can find 5, 6 and 7 bedroom semi-detached properties in roads like Thorncliffe Road, Norwood Road and Shaftesbury Avenue.

There are larger detached properties and bungalows in Adelaide Road and Tentelow Avenue.

Properties in Norwood Green which are built in close proximity to the feeders and tributaries of the River Brent, including streets such as St Mary's Avenue South and St Mary's Avenue Central, 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). | Overhead lines and phone masts can be contentious and may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. A recent Environmental Search stated that a property in Osterley Gardens, Chevy Road, Southall, Middlesex, UB2 4UW, was within 250m of overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. | Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Norwood Green area mainly centre around the main road – M4, impacting roads and streets such as The Alders and Craneswater Park. |
Middlesex is a county located in south east of England, however many parts of Middlesex are now commonly known as part of Greater London, with small sections in neighbouring counties.Strictly speaking Middlesex as a concept is only kept in existence by many people continuing to name it as a county on postal addresses and other contributors such as Middlesex County Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Lord's in St John's Wood, just outside Central London. It is still loved despite it not having any form of administrative function etc.
People hearing about Middlesex assume it was/is a large county because of the amount of Greater London territory (West and North London and Westminster, with the Thames as its southern boundary) which lies within its borders. It is actually the second smallest county in the UK. Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon system from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The largely low-lying county's soil is dominated by clay in its north and alluvium on gravel in its south.
Middlesex contains locations as diverse as Teddington (where the tidal Thames normally finishes), Enfield, Notting Hill, Ickenham, Ealing (where the famous film studios which produced so much early film comedy still exists), Hampstead and Southall.

Does your property look like this?
If you have a crack similar to this in the property then you should be looking to instruct a Structural Engineer, instead of a RICS surveyor.
The reason being is that your property could have subsidence and although a RICS surveyor can confirm if they have a suspicion, they cannot confirm definitively if there is subsidence.
If the crack in the wall is more than 3mm (a 50p could fit in it), it is advisable to get a structural engineer in straight away over a RICS surveyor.
