"Hertfordshire includes around 462000 houses, with many in and around Hertford. Buildings vary from recently built to much earlier structures. That said, Hertford-area experience is but one aspect of the issue when Property Surveyors investigate a property. There are a wide range of other local subjects, and which warrant thorough examination prior to purchase. Some survey concerns in the local area relate to clay soil subsidence, clay tile roofs and local authority planning considerations. (A selection of these are mentioned below).
We have a range of recent expertise across Hertfordshire and SG13 and SG14. If you are thinking of buying a home in the region, we always recommend that you get a House Survey to avoid costly and disruptive maintenance work. Call now for a Home Buyers Survey quote, or book online."

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, and if the enviroment is very dry, the home will settle. This can lead to costly structural problems. During the Home Buyers Survey in Hertford, your Chartered Surveyor will be on the look out for cracks and other evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey might be advised, which essentially requires digging up the garden.
