"Competitively priced service, the agent I dealt with was very helpful. On the day of the survey itself I received a call from the surveyor to run through his initial findings. The quality of the report produced was excellent, very detailed and thorough. If needed I will be using SAM Conveyancing's services again in the future for sure."

Defects flagged in a West Byfleet Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report West Byfleet
Local Tip 1
Buildings in areas to the south and west of West Byfleet, where they are in close proximity to the River Wey and its channels, have been subject to flood warnings and alerts, such as in Dartnell Park Road and Old Parvis Road.

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).

Local Tip 2
Properties in some areas of West Byfleet may be affected by overhead power lines or mobile phone masts.

A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Woodlands Avenue revealed that there were overhead power lines or mobile phone masts located within 250m of the dwelling.

Overhead power lines and phone masts can be contentious and additionally may have a visual impact on the surrounding area.

Local Tip 3
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the West Byfleet area mainly centre around the M25, which runs to its west, affecting any streets nearby such as Woodham Lane and Loncin Mead Avenue.

/div>
Raised levels of noise from rail pollution accompany the railway line which runs on a southwest-northeast axis from West Byfleet station to Byfleet and New Haw station, affecting nearby streets such as Claremont Road and Camphill Road.

It therefore follows that noise levels are at their loudest generally around the point where the M25 crosses the railway line.

Types of property in West Byfleet?


West Byfleet developed around the new station, originally called Byfleet and Woodham, when the railway arrived in 1887 and eventually its boundaries touched those of the original medieval Byfleet village.

There are large houses dating from the Victorian and Edwardian periods in Byfleet whereas West Byfleet's housing dates predominantly from the beginning of the 20th century and onwards.

The Old Avenue area, now designated a conservation area, has large family homes with architecture of various styles. Birchwood Road's properties were built mainly between 1910 and 1920 and has semi-detached houses as well as blocks of 2-bedroom flats.

Throughout the area, detached houses are in the majority, outnumbering all other types put together. There are period flats as well as new build flats, the latter can be found in areas like Camp Hill Road and Lavender Park Road and, as new builds, Help to Buy is available for them.
