"The UK includes around 22,400,000 houses, with many in and around Surrey. Buildings range from recently built to older structures. That said, Surrey-area awareness is but one aspect of the issue when House Surveyors investigate a property. There are a range of other local subjects. These issues could affect your enjoyment of the property. Some survey specific issues in the local area relate to clay soil subsidence, House Longhorn Beetle problems, interlocking tile roofing and planning permission factors. (A range of these are mentioned below).
We have a range of recent expertise across South East England and in all areas of Surrey and CR3, CR6, GU1 and GU10.

In some parts of the country, including Surrey, this beetle is known for the damage it can cause to roofs. The holes look similar to those caused by woodworm.Where property is concerned, the House Longhorn Beetle is a very destructive insect. Left untreated, the beetle will disintigrate softwood timber.Older homes are often immune, having used hardwood timber in their construction.
Roofs on houses in Surrey are often made from clay tiles with inter locking edges. 306 years ago Clay tiles were imported for roof construction from Belgium. Home Buyers Surveys in Surrey will detail clay tiles due to the cost of repair. Roofing Contractors don't always know how to remedy defects with clay tile roofs. If the survey in Derbyshire uncovers any defects, we would advise you consult with a local roofer.
Clay soil-located houses may be prone to both subsidence and movement of the foundation. Being particularly absorbent, some clay soils can create a range of issues for house built on them. The soil can change form and volume, depending on moisture content, which may damage the home's structure. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Surrey will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended.
