"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 Huddersfield Home Buyers Survey
Types of property in Huddersfield?
The arrival of the railway in 1846 aided the town's exponential growth causing a new town to be created to the west of the original core around the parish church and the Beast Market at the junction of Northgate, Southgate and Westgate. A grid of streets was laid out north of Westgate leading up to a new square in front of the railway station and many Victorian properties in this area have survived.
The local council bought the Ramsden Estate in 1920 and constructed much municipal housing from this period, predominantly semi-detached and terrace houses.
Between 2011 and 2013, the Moldgreen area, which had been known for its deprived housing, was redeveloped with stone-built 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, as can be seen in roads like Poplar Street and Gelder Terrace.
New build developments include the detached houses in Lindley, Farnley Tyas and Lepton (Whitley Willows) and the semi-detached homes and townhouses in Lindley Park.
