Chelsea houses may be affected by noise from London Heathrow Airport. It is worthwhile to book an independent Chartered Surveyor in Chelsea, as a Surveyor acting on behalf of an agent may not consider the impact of this on a potential homeowner. Compensation may be available to those living under the flightpath. Vents and cracks in window frames are just two of the paths by which noise can enter a home.
