Top tips for a Stratford Home Buyers Survey
Housing in Stratford is set to expand rapidly, with more than 11,000 new homes set to be built in the next two decades on and around the site of the former 2012 London Olympic Park. Architecturally it already benefits from two unique Olympic-related buildings, namely Anish Kapoor's Orbit tower and Zaha Hadid's London Aquatic Centre.
East Village, formerly the Athletes' Village, is steadily being converted into 2,818 homes, mainly for rent but with some offered under shared ownership. There are additionally two modern residential tower blocks being built.
Stratford has many existing Victorian terrace houses such as in Vaughan Road. Victorian cottages can be found in Manbey Grove. The Chobham Manor development has more than a quarter of its homes being sold as affordable homes.

Large areas of Stratford are in the flood plain of the River Lea and other water courses include WaterWorks River and City Mill River. Properties built close to these water courses, such as in Warton Road, 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). | According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some areas of Stratford in East London, including streets such as Faringford Road and Elliot Close, are in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. The raised Radon area has 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). If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map. Click also to find out more about Radon, Radon property searches and much more. | Some properties in Stratford are located nearby to existing or proposed sites for wind farms or wind turbines. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Manbey Street for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of existing or proposed wind farms or turbines. The location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual and auditory impact. |

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 Stratford 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.
