"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 Uxbridge Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Uxbridge
Local Tip 1
In Uxbridge, homes built close to the Frays River, the River Pinn and the River Colne are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. This includes for example the Cowley Road and St John's Road.

If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details).

Local Tip 2
Working chimneys need annual maintenance to ensure they are free from carbon/debris build up and could cause fires within the chimney breast itself.

In a HomeBuyer Report on The Crossway, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB10 0JH, it was advised that the open flue is inspected by a reputable firm of chimney sweeps and that any recommendations are instigated. There was one fireplaces to the rear section of reception room and front, left bedroom that had been closed and that have been vented accordingly.

Local Tip 3
Damp meter readings are taken during both a HomeBuyer Report and a Building Survey.

If the building surveyor has no concerns then they will state in their report - Moisture readings were taken throughout the property, and we can confirm that, at the dateof inspection, there were no high readings recorded.

Types of property in Uxbridge?


Uxbridge mainly consists of houses which were built around the 1930s, whether detached, semi-detached or bungalows as well as a few streets with Victorian period semi-detached and terrace houses around The Greenway.

You find period houses in its outskirts, such as the borders of Ickenham, and 'chocolate-box'-type houses around Denham Village. 

There are plenty of newer developments, such as Old Mill Close in Cowley, which offers new build houses, and King's Island, near the town centre, where there are converted houses and new build flats. 

Frequently, shared ownership properties are available to buy in the locale.
