Area overview
Popular with commuters and families; many homes are upgraded and well-presented, so surveys focus on verifying workmanship, hidden defects and moisture risk. Level 2 surveys suit many properties; Level 3 is sensible for older or heavily altered homes.
Modern estates, late-20th-century detached/semis, and pockets of older property.
Common survey considerations include:
- Loft insulation and ventilation balance (condensation risk)
- Poorly detailed replacement windows/doors affecting ventilation and damp
- Flat roof coverings and detailing on extensions
- Drainage maintenance and surface water discharge
- Minor cracking and movement indicators needing context
