Top tips for a Romford Home Buyers Survey
Romford has an historic market place (going back to the 13h century) and property prices have risen there on account of the building of the Crossrail station. Many new developments are currently being mooted for the town such as modern tower blocks and possibly two riverside residential quarters on the banks of the River Rom.
Romford's housing development accelerated in the Victorian period and then much more so in the 1930s. You can find streets of Victorian houses near the town centre, however 3-bedroomed semi-detached properties and terrace homes built in the interwar period are in greater numbers.
You can find bungalows (both detached and semi-detached) around Collier Row. You can find houses built in the Arts & Crafts style in Meadway, Reed Pond Walk and Heath Drive and well-built 1950s council homes in Harold Hill, many of which have been bought under Right to Buy.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Dwellings in Romford which are built in close proximity to the River Rom, such as in Brooklands Lane and Riverside Close, are subject to flood warnings and 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). | A recent Regulated Local Authority Search for a property in Pretoria Road, Romford, RM7 7BB, noted that the property was in a local authority area that will be affected by the Crossrail route. More information about this can be accessed via the Crossrail portal | A recent Environmental Search for a property in Hathaway Gardens, Romford, RM6 5TL noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability in the area within 50m of the property. This finding did not necessarily mean that there was a cause for concern in terms of the property's stability: active subsidence depends on local conditions such as the proximity of trees. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |

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 Romford 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.
