"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 Wraysbury Home Buyers Survey


HomeBuyers Report Wraysbury
Local Tip 1
Most properties in Wraysbury are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time, particularly around the Ouseley Road/Wharf Road/Friary Road area - it is very much in the River Thames' flood plain and there are many lakes and reservoirs in the locale.

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
Properties in some areas of Wraysbury are built in designated smoke control areas.

A recent local authority search done for a dwelling in Osborne Avenue noted that the property was in such a smoke control area.

Under the terms of Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993, smoke emissions from all buildings are prohibited unless an exemption has been made by the Secretary of State under Section 21 of the Act.

Local Tip 3
Properties in some areas of Wraysbury may be affected by overhead power lines or mobile phone masts.

A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Hadrian Way 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.

Types of property in Wraysbury?


Wraysbury, an affluent village in Berkshire, hosts the ruins of a Benedictine nunnery from Henry II's reign and a yew tree (the Ankerwycke Yew) aged around 2,000 years old.

Despite the arrival of the railway in 1848, the population throughout the 19th century did not increase to any great extent, and stayed below 700 (just over 600 at the start of the century).

The western part of the village is subject to flooding, as has occurred in January 2003, January 2014 and February 2014.

Hythe End has a number of large, detached properties on the riverside; these are late Victorian, Edwardian or redevelopments as well as modern properties. Sunnymeads has equally large properties from the Victorian period (including large cottages) to the modern era as does Friary Island.
