"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 Wokingham Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Wokingham
Local Tip 1
Properties in Wokingham immediately adjoining the Emm Brook are in a flood warning area, including those built in streets such as Molly Millars Lane and Ashville Way.

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
Noise pollution levels in and around Wokingham from roads are raised in properties built in roads close to the M4 and A329(M) in streets such as Diamond Jubilee Way and Green Lane. From railways, the noise pollution is along the line of the railway through Wokingham Station and mainly from trains going to and from Reading and to and from London. There is less pollution on the route connecting Wokingham with Guildford and Gatwick Airport purely by virtue of there being fewer trains on this route.

Local Tip 3
A recent Local Authority Search bought for a property a client was looking to buy in William Heelas Way, Wokingham RG40 1LN revealed many entries relating to plans to build 650 new dwellings in Buckhurst Farm, London Road including planning permissions applied for concerning items such as access roads, parking and landscaping.

These kinds of details can give your property lawyer grounds to make further enquiries and also can flag up matters which might affect your future enjoyment of a property and ultimately therefore your decision whether to go ahead with a purchase or not.

Types of property in Wokingham?


Wokingham has many different architectural styles but in general, the town’s housing has been greatly influenced by its prominence in the brick-making industry during Victorian times.

Many of the town’s churches and hospitals have the distinct Wokingham brickwork; cladding and facades are more of a rarity.

Rose Street (Shute End), Peach Street and Denmark Street contain some buildings which date back to the 14th century. In contrast, Broad Street has very modern commercial and residential buildings however throughout Wokingham you find pitched roofs, dormer windows and bare brick rather than, for example, white-washing.
