"Hounslow is located in Greater London, which has approximately 3150000 homes. Buildings vary from recently constructed to older homes. That said, Hounslow-area experience is but part of the survey task when Chartered Surveyors investigate a home, as there are a wide range of other local issues to bear in mind that can impact both the enjoyment and worth of your ideal purchase. Issues include cellar dampness, clay soil heave, noise from Heathrow, highly damaging House Longhorn Beetles, parapet wall upkeep, Portland stone lapsed maintenance and local planning considerations to name but a few. If you are thinking of buying a residential property in the region, we always recommend that you carry out a House Survey. Purchasing without a survey may prove an expensive mistake ."

Structures built on these soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some types of this soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent. The soil can change form and volume, depending on moisture content, which may damage the home's structure. During the Home Buyers Survey in Hounslow, 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 garden0
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 Hounslow 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.Surveyors will be vigilant for signs of associated cracking, flaking, and displacement potentially caused by leaking parapets. In such cases, it is recommended that a PVC flashing 'membrane' should be installed if not present.
