"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."

Types of property in Worcester Park?
Although there are a few surviving properties from earlier eras, most homes in the area were built in the 20th and present centuries. Cheam Common Infants and Junior schools are pre –World War II buildings. A large housing estate was built at Parker's Field in the 1970s with predominantly semi-detached and terrace houses of standard construction.
The Hamptons estate was built in the north-east of Worcester Park in the early 21st century and consists of mainly New England (Colonial Revival) style housing. Properties vary from apartments to large detached houses. Dutch style/Dutch Colonial Revival houses were added in the ten years to 2013.
You can find new developments in roads like Cleveland Gardens and some of the properties in Sherbrooke Way, for example Richmond House, have been sold as shared ownership resales.

What defects are flagged in a Homebuyer's Survey?
Cracks are inspected and in the report will confirm if you need a structural engineer as there are signs of historical or current movement.
The RICS surveyor will use a moisture meter in the rooms and report any high levels along with any mould or damp causing damage to the walls/windows.
The wooden door frames and windows will be inspected for rotting and wood worm.
The surveyor looks for signs of infestations through droppings, damage to piping/flooring and in some cases finding where the nest is.
The surveyor will check the grounds of the property and, where possible, check over the fences to neighbouring plots to identify if there is a risk of Japanese knotweed.
The surveyor lifts up accessible man hole covers to check if the drains are blocked. You may need to get your drains inspected with CCTV.
The surveyor will enter into the roof/loft space if there is a safe and accessible ladder. They'll look for insulation, signs of leaking and and damage.
