"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."

Properties in Highams Park which are built close to the (River) Ching, such as in Hale End Road, are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time.

Local Tip 2
Properties in some areas of Highams Park may be affected by overhead power lines or mobile phone masts.

A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Hillyfield revealed that there were overhead power lines or mobile phone masts located within 250m of the dwelling.

Overhead power lines and phone masts can be contentious and additionally may have a visual impact on the surrounding area.

Local Tip 3
Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Highams Park.

In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in St. Andrew's Road, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m of the property.

This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "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."
