"Mitcham is located in Surrey, which has approximately 469000 homes. Homes vary from modern to much earlier homes. However, experience with local home-construction methods is only part of the equation, as there are various other local concerns to bear in mind that can impact both the enjoyment and worth of your proposed 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. (Some of these are discussed below). If you are buying a property in the region, we always recommend that you carry out a survey. Failing to do so could be a very costly mistake.

The basements or cellars of properties in and around Mitcham risk problems associated with damp. Wet foundations and damp basements are a common factor putting these homes at risk.Chartered Surveyors in Mitcham will seek to identify:
Properties in Mitcham may be affected by noise from London Heathrow Airport. BAA may pay for noise reduction solutions, and even relocation costs for those particularly affected. Noise will enter a property through vents, air bricks, cracks between frames and walls, pipes, doors and even letterboxes. These cavities should be packed out with sound proofing material. Loft insulation is also advised. Total erradication of noise will not be possible however. The Local Authorities Aircraft Noise Council (LAANC) can advise on the impact aircraft noise will have on a residence.
Subsidence and foundation movement can be caused by clay soil. Some types of clay soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent. The soil changes form and volume, depending on moisture content, and is capable of damaging foundations. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Mitcham will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended.
