"Oxfordshire is located in the UK, which has approximately 22,400,000 homes. Buildings vary from modern bungalows to older structures. However, awareness with local building methods is only part of the equation, as there are various other local points of interest and concerns to bear in mind that can lower both the enjoyment and value of your proposed purchase. Issues include clay soil subsidence, clay tile roofs and local authority planning considerations to name but a few. (Some of these are discussed below).
Fridaysmove have recent experience of carrying out Building Surveys in South East England with a number in and around Oxfordshire including Building Surveys in OX1, OX10, OX11 and OX12."
Subsidence and foundation movement can be caused by clay soil. Being particularly absorbent, some clay soils can create a range of issues for house built on them, and if the enviroment is very dry, the home will settle. This can lead to costly structural problems. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Oxfordshire will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended.
Roofs on homes in Oxfordshire are frequently found with Belgium style clay tiles with inter locking edges. Building surveyors should investigate interlocking tiles because repair or replacement is very dear. Roofing Contractors rarely have the experience to fix problems with these types of roof.
