Top tips for a Silvertown Home Buyers Survey
Silvertown's housing is predominantly from the modern era: it has been continually redeveloped variously because of a notable explosion, the blitz and regeneration schemes.
There are still 'survivals' from the 20th century – landmarks such as Georges (sic) Diner and the Graving Dock Tavern still stand, just about, even if they are disused. Some of the factory buildings still standing date back to the Victorian era such as some of those related to the K-S and W Warehouses and the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery.
Modern developments – and there are many, both already built and in the pipeline – include the riverside Royal Wharf flats development (3,385 units) and the Millennium Mills. /div>

Some properties in Silvertown's area may be subject to the affects of flooding from time to time. A recent property conveyancing Environmental Search taken out for a property in Terry Spinks Place, London E16 1YH revealed that it was within 0 - 25 metres of a risk of river and surface water flooding. The property therefore carries some risk of flood damage and higher insurance premiums required to guard against flooding events. | Although your RICS surveyor does not carry out any in-depth testing of utilities during an inspection for a HomeBuyers Report, they will flag up any suspicions they have given what is visible. In a recent such report carried out on a property in Western Gateway, London E16 1AR, the surveyor noted that the extractor fan in the bathroom was not working (it was switched on) and that they were unable to find the isolator switch. They advised the client involved that they would have to repair the equipment soon. | A recent such report taken out for a property in Docklands Road, E16 2QU revealed that there were building control documents logged for it, which the solicitor can easily inspect (in this case, a rewire and repairs to the roofing were carried out satisfactorily). |

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 Silvertown 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.

The majority of Silvertown's leasehold flats require only a RICS HomeBuyer Report but for any Victorian conversions, a Building Survey may well be required.
Level 3 RICS Building Survey
A Building Survey is the most comprehensive visual inspection a RICS surveyor can provide on a property in Silvertown. It is suitable for:
- complex buildings, for example those that have been extensively extended and altered
- unique or older historic properties
- properties in poor condition; or
- those where the client is planning to carry out extensive repair and refurbishment work.
