"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 White City Home Buyers Survey

Local Tip 1
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the White City area mainly centre around the A40/Westway and Wood Lane. Raised levels of noise pollution from railways accompany the Silverlink line (overground) going north from Shepherd's Bush station to Willesden Junction station and affecting roads like Depot Road.

Local Tip 2
When a RICS surveyor is completing either a building survey or a homebuyer report they may have suspicions that a property has an infestation. If this happens, they will normally advise that a qualified pest control company comes to the property to sort out the problem.
A local pest control company within the White City area is S&S Pest Control, 1 Hythe Rd, White City, London NW10 6RT.

Local Tip 3
Properties in some areas of White City may be affected by surface water flooding.
A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Stanlake Road, White City, W5 7HG revealed that there was a potential risk of surface water flooding within 250m of the dwelling.
Surface water flooding results from rainfall running over ground before entering a watercourse or river. If you are buying a property with a mortgage, when your main property searches are returned, they may advise that you get an additional Flood Risk Report (click to find out more).
Types of property in White City?
White City is a district of Hammersmith & Fulham Borough in West London.
It was essentially undeveloped vis-à-vis housing until 1908, then a stadium and other related buildings were constructed to host various exhibitions and functions including the Olympics of that year. The stadium was demolished in 1985 to make way for BBC White City.
A 5-storey housing estate was built in the late 1930s to house population increases including in streets such as Pretoria Avenue.
There are extensive new build developments in progress in the area such as the partnership between White City Living, Westfield and Imperial College which should deliver up to 5,000 high quality new homes, among other targets.

Your satisfaction is our priority. If you have any issues, you can raise a formal complaint. If you remain unsatisfied, you can resort to a third-party dispute resolution service. Our White City-based RICS surveyor will work diligently to resolve your concerns, potentially revisiting the property if necessary.
We take problems very seriously, and if you encounter an issue, we ensure your concerns are addressed promptly and professionally. The initial step involves submitting a formal, written complaint, outlining the problem and supplementing it with any supporting evidence, like photos.
Our Manchester-based surveyor will send you their Formal Complaints Procedure outlining the expected response timeframes. They will work to rectify your complaint and might even propose revisiting the property in Manchester. After a comprehensive review, they will write back to you, hopefully resolving your complaint through the provision of further information.
If you remain unsatisfied, you can resort to a third-party dispute resolution service to which the surveyor is registered. This service becomes accessible only after you have formally complained to your surveyor.
