A number of these are explored in more detail later in this article.

Matters commonly considered by Enfield RICS Chartered Surveyors include:

Enfield Clay Soil Issues

Structures built on these soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some types of clay soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent. Depending on water content, the clay can swell and contract, leading to damage. During a Enfield Home Survey, the Surveyor will remain vigilant for any defects associated with clay soil. Ironically, clay is a perfect material for brick making.

Longhorn Beetle Issues

This species is noteworthy in certain areas as it causes rapid deterioration by eating away timbers internally. Your Chartered Surveyor will confirm that the holes resemble those caused by woodworm, but are larger in radius. Where property is concerned, the House Longhorn Beetle is a very destructive insect. Infestations can be treated if the damage is not too severe. Older buildings are actually often more immune as they often use hardwood timber in roof supports. Specialised wood treatments are among the solutions available today.

Heathrow

Noise from Heathrow Airport can create issues for Enfield homes. It is worthwhile to book an independent Chartered Surveyor in Enfield, as a Surveyor acting on behalf of an agent may not consider the impact of this on a potential homeowner. BAA may offer compensation to familes 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.
