Top tips for a Staines Home Buyers Survey
The majority of homes in Staines are detached or semi-detached, many of them built post-war, with some terraces dating from the Victorian period. There are a few small blocks of flats. Most of the 20th century housing has been independently built, since nearly all the council's estates are outside Staines parish itself.
There are elaborate Georgian shop houses lining Clarence Street but there are also a number of listed luxury apartments in the town. Ninety-four council houses were built around Worple Avenue in the 1920s. The bungalows of Penton Hook were built generally around or before 1919.

Most of Staines is in a flood warning and flood alert area, including streets such as Brookside Avenue and Woodthorpe Road, and particularly to the south of Shortwood Common. 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). | There are currently no plans for fracking in the Staines area. | According to the UK Government's Public Health England, the vast majority of Staines is not regarded as an area with significant radon levels, however the area to the south of Ferry Avenue is slightly raised and recorded as having a maximum radon potential of 1-3% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level). |

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 Staines 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.
