"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."

The areas of Billingham around the River Tees, Cowbridge Beck and Oakdene Primary School are at low to medium risk of flooding.
Flooding and proximity to bodies of water can lead to damp problems in homes. Our local Billingham RICS Surveyor will look for signs of damp or rot and include these in their report.
The population of Billingham doubled from the 1930s to the 1970s, and the town expanded. This was the prime time for the use of asbestos in construction, which is deadly when disturbed.
Get a home survey from one of our local Billingham RICS Surveyors. They will flag any visible signs of asbestos in their report.
