London Heathrow Airport may cause noise issues for some residents living near West Brompton. Booking a thorough West Brompton HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey from an independent Surveyor to consider the impact of Heathrow's proximity is strongly advised. 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.

Structures built on these clay soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Clay soil can be a concern if a home is built on it.

If these are suspected, a special dip test survey might be advised, which essentially requires digging up the garden0
