"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."

Local Tip 1
Properties in Cheshunt which are built near to the River Lea, the New River and Nags Brook, such as in Brookfield Lane West and Whitefields Road, are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time.

Local Tip 2
A RICS surveyor doesn't test the boiler, however they do check to see if the boiler is on by using the hot water and by turning on the shower. You should always obtain the boiler installation certificate and the maintenance details from the seller during the conveyancing process.

If you need the gas checking, a local gas engineer in Harpenden is R & P Gibbs Ltd, 231 Turners Hill, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross EN8 9DG.
Surveyor Cheshunt
Local Tip 3
An Environmental Report will flag the potential for Contaminative Activities - this is something a surveyor will not report to you on.

In a recent search of Cranleigh Close, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, EN7 6HH it stated that Thames Water Utilities Ltd completed surface water discharge within 275m of the property.

Types of property in Cheshunt?


Cheshunt is on the north edges of Greater London and was a settlement on Ermine Street, the main Roman road leading north from London. St Mary the Virgin parish church was built between 1418 and 1448 (a rebuild from 300 years or so before that).

There are properties from various eras in the town, including the Georgian and Victorian, but most of the homes were built in the 20th century and there was considerable development in the late 1960s and after, when estates such as Rosedale were created. Rosedale has many terrace houses.

You can find bungalows in Longfield Lane (detached and semi-detached) and large modern detached houses in Rags Lane. Sovereign Gate in Andrew's Lane is one example of where shared ownership has been offered on 2 and 3-bedroom modern family homes.
