"Hampshire includes around 555000 houses, with many in and around Southampton. Properties vary from new builds to much earlier houses. However, awareness with local building practices is only a fraction of the survey process. There are a wide range of other local issues. These issues could affect your enjoyment of the property. Some survey problems in the local area relate to excessive aircraft noise, clay soil heave, interlocking tile roofing, planning permission factors and maritime zone corrosion effects.
We have a range of recent expertise across Hampshire, particularly in Southampton including Home Buyers Surveys in SO14, SO15, SO16 and SO17."
Southampton is designated a 'maritime zone'. Metal or timber parts of a property may deteriorate in coastal air.

The Surveyor will offer advice on 'marine proofing' a residence to mitigate further wear and damage.
