"Southwark is located in Surrey, which has approximately 469000 homes. Buildings vary from modern to much earlier houses. That said, Southwark-area expertise is but part of the survey task when Surveyors investigate a home, as there are numerous other local points of interest and concerns to bear in mind that can affect both the enjoyment and value of your ideal purchase. Issues include cellar dampness, clay soil heave, noise from Heathrow, highly damaging House Longhorn Beetles, Kentish Ragstone buildings, local planning considerations, parapet wall defects, Portland stone lapsed issues and to name but a few.

Homes in Southwark could experience noise from London Heathrow Airport. It is particularly important to book a survey from an independent Chartered Surveyor as agent or lender-tied surveyors may be tempted to gloss over the noise issues. BAA may offer compensation to familes living under the flightpath including contribution to sound proofing (e.g. double or even triple glazing) or even relocation costs. These cavities should be packed out with sound proofing material. Loft insulation is also advised. Total erradication of noise will not be possible however. To determine if a property in Southwark is affected by this issue, speak to the Local Authorities Aircraft Noise Council (LAANC) at info@laanc.org.uk or telephone 01932 785841.
