Top tips for a Rotherhithe Home Buyers Survey
Rotherhithe is a residential district in southeast London and part of the London Borough of Southwark and is bordered by the Thames to its north. St. Mary's Church is at the centre of the old Rotherhithe village, which contains various historic buildings including the Brunel Engine House at the south end of the Thames Tunnel.
It has a long port history having had working docks until the 1970s when they were largely filled in. The 1980s saw many warehouse conversions and new build developments, the latter particularly around Russia Dock Road, for example the low-rise flats in Capstan Way. New build developments include the apartments in Verney Road, and Plaza House in Cathay Street and the terraced houses for sale in King Stairs Close.

Virtually all properties in Rotherhithe, located in streets such as Russia Dock Road and Capstan Way, are an in area where flood warnings and alerts are issued 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). | Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Rotherhithe. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Hatteraick Road, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m of the property. This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built."

A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Hatteraick Road revealed that the property was within 250m of an area likely to be impacted by environmental constraints.
