"Thames Ditton is located in Surrey, which has approximately 469000 homes. Homes vary from modern to older homes. That said, Thames Ditton-area experience is but part of the survey task when Chartered Surveyors investigate a home, as there are a range of other local points of interest and concerns to bear in mind that can impact both the enjoyment and worth of your ideal purchase. Issues include clay soil subsidence, House Longhorn Beetle problems, interlocking tile roofing and planning permission factors to name but a few. If you are buying a residential property in the region, we always recommend that you carry out a Property Survey. Purchasing without a survey may prove an expensive mistake ."

Structures built on these clay soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some types of this soil can be problematic for properties built on it, as it is water absorbent. Depending on water content, the clay can swell and contract, leading to damage. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Thames Ditton will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended. Despite these problems, clay soil is a very suitable material for brick manufacture.
