"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 Wimbledon Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Wimbledon
Local Tip 1
Properties in Wimbledon which are built in close proximity to the River Wandle, in streets like Steerforth Street and Maskell Road, are subject to flood warnings and alerts 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).

Local Tip 2
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Wimbledon, including streets such as Hoyle Road and Bickley 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 1-3% (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.

Local Tip 3
A recent Environmental Search for a property on Russell Road, London, SW19 1LN, stated that the dwelling was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability.

The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. Active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions.

Types of property in Wimbledon?


Wimbledon has an almost rural and very affluent village on its hill and a largish town which developed at the bottom of the hill when the railway arrived in 1838 and which brought with it a building boom.

Wimbledon has a wide selection of family houses, from large Twenties or new-build detached mansions with spacious gardens, to small, two-bedroom period cottages. There are also blocks of flats, both older style and modern.

Streets in and around the village, such as Marryat Road, Lingfield Road, The Grange, Murray Road, Highbury Road and Parkside, have large detached houses, some period (Georgian onwards) and others very modern rebuilds.

Nearby Raynes Park has many four-bedroom Twenties houses and Wimbledon Hill Park in Copse Hill is a new build development of mainly flats (with a few houses) built in period and modern style.

A Level 2 HomeBuyers Report is for newer, conventional properties. A Level 3 Building Survey is for a comprehensive analysis, for older or larger properties.

Is a homebuyers survey worth it?
For conventional properties, a HomeBuyers Survey is invaluable. Identified defects can be used as leverage during price negotiations with the seller and can save 1000s of pounds.
