Top tips for a Sandhurst Home Buyers Survey
Sandhurst is a town in Berkshire principally known as the location of the Royal Military Academy. It developed when the Royal Military College was built there in 1812 and subsequently when the railway arrived in 1849. In the period after the railway arrived, a number of large Victorian country residences were built up to around the 1870s, of which a few remain today.
Many workers' houses were built as people moved to the area to find employment and a number of churches and schools were built, such as St Michael's Parish Church (Little Sandhurst), rebuilt in 1853, and Old Scotland Hill School, built in 1871.
Much building occurred in the 20th century between the 1950s and 1980s with large housing estates fabricated around College Town, Central Sandhurst, Little Sandhurst and Owlsmoor. Much of the stock Is semi-detached and detached properties.
There are large, newly-built detached properties around School Hill in Little Sandhurst and more detached and semi-detached homes being built around Branksome Hill Road.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Properties in Sandhurst which have been built close to the Blackwater River, in roads such as Yateley Road and Belfry Mews, 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 Environmental Search for a property in Hepworth Croft, Sandhurst, GU47 0GH, stated that the dwelling was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability. The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. 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 house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. | Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Sandhurst area mainly centre around the main road – A321, Yorktown Road, impacting roads such as The Broadway and Coachmans Grove. |

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 Sandhurst 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.
