Properties in Reigate which are located in close proximity to the River Mole and its tributaries and feeders, in streets such as Roebuck Close and Bancroft Court, are in areas which are 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). | Some properties in Reigate may be located in an area which is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). A recent local authority search for a property in Hornbeam Road, Reigate, RH2 7NN revealed that it was within a CIL area. The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area. Click to find out more about the Community Infrastructure Levy(CIL) | When a RICS surveyor carries out either a building survey or homebuyer report on a property in the Reigate area, they will switch the lights on and off but not test the whole electrical system. If they suspect that there is an electrical problem, they will recommend that you consult a local electrical contractor. A local electrician near the Reigate area is DJP Electrical, 6 Castle Drive, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 8DQ. |

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 Reigate 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.
