Top tips for a Taunton Home Buyers Survey
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, which had become well-established by the Saxon era. It hosts Taunton Castle, which was originally developed notably in 1138, but which subsequently lost most of its original features at various times.
It developed greatly when the Grand Western Canal arrived in 1839 and when the railway arrived in 1842.
There is a plethora of properties from different periods in the town, including for example The Crescent, which has Georgian terrace houses, the Victorian terraces in Greenway Road, the large Victorian detached houses in Staplegrove, the council (or ex-council, because of Right to Buy) estates of Pryland, Ladymead, Priswood and Holway, built in various periods between the 1920s and the 1960s and very modern houses.
New build developments include terraced houses in Morse Road, Norton Fitzwarren; large detached properties in Sherlands Heights, Stonegallows; modern flats in Keeper Close and semi-detached houses in Firepool View.

Properties in Taunton built in close proximity to the River Tone, in streets such as Wood Street and Yarde Place, are in areas 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). | According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Taunton, including streets such as Blackthorne Road and Ullswater Southfield Close, is 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 poteential of 5-10% (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 Taunton 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.

A Building Survey is the most comprehensive visual inspection a RICS surveyor can provide on a property in Taunton. It is suitable for:
- complex buildings, for example those that have been extensively extended and altered
