Top tips for a Wolverhampton Home Buyers Survey
Wolverhampton is in the West Midlands and is a city which grew from being a market town. It hosts properties like Wightwick Manor, a Victorian manor house, first completed in 1887 and one of only a few surviving examples of a house built and furnished under the influence of the Arts & Crafts movement.
The railways reached the city in 1837, which was a spur to housing and population growth and the 19th century saw much immigration from Wales and Ireland.
Housing development continued into the 20th century when mass council housing was built after the 1st world war. The council built new estates at Parkfields and Birches Barn. The first large housing development of this sort was the Low Hill estate to the city's northeast and construction continued into the 1930s, concentrated in the Oxley and Wobaston areas to the north and the new Scotlands Estate in the northeast.
Housing developments continued into the 1950s and 1960s and large towers were built in areas like Blakenhall, Whitmore Reans and Chetton Green.
The city centre's buildings mainly date from the early 20th century, but there are buildings like St Peter's Church, which dates back originally to the 13th century.
New build developments include the large detached houses in Wergs Road, Tettenhall Wood, the low-rise apartments in Gatis Street, Akron Drive and Rothesay Gardens and the flats and houses in Leicester Street.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
Properties in Wolverhampton near Wightwick Manor to its west, built in close proximity to the Smestow Brook and the River Stour and to the east of the manor, in streets such as Firsway and Viewlands Drive, are in an area 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, some parts of Wolverhampton, including streets such as Bilston Road - A41 and Dixon Street, 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 5-10% (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. | A recent Environsearch that took place in Middlesbrough showed that there was potential for natural ground instability in the area within 50m of a property on Raines Court (road). The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural groundinstability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. Active subsidence willbe dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require aninspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built. A house buyers survey is advised tolook for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |

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 Wolverhampton 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.
