Top tips for a Rainham Home Buyers Survey
Rainham is a mainly residential suburban town in East London which increased in size when the railway arrived in 1854 and even more so in the 20th century. Its Church of St Helen and St Giles is the only surviving medieval building in the area.
There are semi-detached and detached houses dating from the 1880s but much of the stock consists of detached, semi-detached and terrace houses from the interwar period, such as you find in Edmund Road and Upminster Road.
New build developments include the Rainham and Beam Park schemes.

A number of properties in Rainham built close to the Beam River, Rainham Creek, Ingrebourn River and the River Thames, in streets such as Betterton Road and Edmund Road, are subject to flood alerts and warnings 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 Rainham, including streets such as Lower Mardyke Avenue and Askwith 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.

A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Westlyn Close, Rainham, RM13 9JP for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of existing or proposed wind farms or turbines. The location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual and auditory impact. |

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 Rainham 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.
