"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 Broadstairs Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Broadstairs
Local Tip 1
Among the various advantages of lenders insisting that if you buy a home with a mortgage, you have to buy a Local Authority Search, are the Building Regulations entries listed for the property in questions.

A recent such conveyancing property search, carried out for a property in Gloucester Avenue, Broadstairs, KENT CT10 2HP, listed that the property had had a rear extension, had had double glazing installed (FENSA record) and electrical work including a new consumer unit. For these last two, the contractor was also listed. These details give your conveyancing solicitor vital information for their enquiries and help them with their eventual report on title.

Local Tip 2
An Environmental Conveyancing Property Search can reveal nearby hazards which might affect a property. A recent such search for a property in Farley Road, Margate, Kent CT9 4EP revealed that there was a 'moderate' potential for natural ground instability within 50 metres of the property.

Local Tip 3
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, all properties within Broadstairs are in a raised radon area. The raised radon area, which includes for example Edge End Road and Bromstone Road, 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).

Types of property in Broadstairs?


Broadstairs has been populated, even if sparsely, for many hundred years and George Culmer cut a road into the chalk ground on which Broadstairs built in 1538. He built the York Gate also, in 1540, and this still spans Harbour Street.

The main building boom occurred in the mid-19th century as the professional classes, boosted also later on b by the arrival of the railway, moved in.

You can find fine examples of Victorian terraced houses in Wrotham Road and Percy Avenue for example and large detached houses in Fort Road.
There are many properties built in the 20th century, including some Edwardian terraced houses in Church Street and 1930s terraced houses in Hugin Avenue. There are very large, double-fronted detached houses built in the 1920s in Convent Road.

You can also find very modern developments in the town such as the 4-bedroom town houses in Beach Mews, Alexandra Road.
