"Bexley is located in Kent, with roughly 614000 properties. Buildings range from modern to older houses. That said, Bexley-area expertise is but part of the survey task when Surveyors investigate a house. There are a number of other local subjects evaluated which could affect the home's value. cellar dampness, clay soil heave, noise from Heathrow, highly damaging House Longhorn Beetles, parapet wall upkeep, Portland stone lapsed maintenance and local planning considerations are a selection of local matters which Chartered Surveyors consider. When buying a residential property in Bexley, it is suggested that all buyers get a HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey to avoid huge maintenance costs. Call us now to book a Property Survey."
Among a range of popular building construction materials in Bexley, Portland stone is particularly common. Portland Stone was in use as far back as Roman times. Cement render may have been used on outside walls, obscuring the stone. This rendering may itself create issues for homeowners..
Bexley houses may be affected by noise from London Heathrow Airport. A would-be buyer is recommended to find an independent Surveyor as one conducting a survey or property valuation on behalf of the lender may not focus on these issues. Compensation may be available to those living under the flightpath. These cavities should be packed out with sound proofing material. Loft insulation is also advised. Total erradication of noise will not be possible however.
Parapet walls are usually above the roof line and often sit on the boundary of the property. They are relatively exposed and regularly suffer from deterioration due to the elements.
Buildings in Bexley may suffer leaks as a result of parapets which have been poorly maintained. Leaking roofs are often down to the parapet wall, rather than the roof itself.The presence of displacement, cracking and efflorescence may indicate a leaking parapet. As a result, the Building Surveyor may recommend that parapet walls receive careful, regular maintenance and inspections.
