Investing in Hillingdon

Only 14 miles outside Central London, the London Borough of Hillingdon’s most famous landmark is London Heathrow Airport. One of the busiest airports in the world, Heathrow has significantly contributed to Hillingdon’s economic success, having provided jobs for the area since 1946.

A thriving business centre with excellent road and public transport links, the impending arrival of Crossrail should lead to greater regeneration and present good investment opportunities.

What benefits does a Schedule of Condition provide?: A Schedule of Condition provides a clear benchmark against which the condition of a property can be assessed. In this way, the document can help mitigate future repairing obligations between residential or commercial landlords and tenants, or potential claims for damages between property owners.
How does subsidence occur?: Subsidence in a building most commonly occurs when the clay soil beneath the foundations dries up and shrinks. Often, the moisture extraction can be attributed to the roots of nearby trees, but leakage from underground pipes softening or washing away the soil under the foundations can also be to blame.

  I can't say enough good things about Able - not just on the survey quality, but also on the excellent communication. They knew I was in a hurry, and they made sure they gave me the earliest possible slot (about a week after paying). On the day, the surveyor kindly called me and spent half an hour talking through what he found, to put my mind at ease. The next day, I got a summary of the survey. And a couple of days later, the full survey report. It was incredibly detailed, and answered all my questions. It also listed the costs of each repair.

A few weeks later, and after the searches came back, I emailed Able with a list of questions. A couple of hours later, the surveyor personally called me and spent an hour going through each point step by step. At no point did I feel rushed, and he spent time reassuring me about each item I was worried about.

All in all, dealing with Able was the best experience I have had in the home-buying process, and I would be delighted to use them again if I ever buy another place.

  Jack did a great job for us and was available for any follow-up questions in a timely manner.  We got a thorough and professional report at a much more reasonable cost than other firms.  Thank you!

  One of the best people you want to use when considering buying a property. Communication was second to none and the report provided was detailed and gave me the assurance I was looking for. Very reasonable price for a first time buyer.

  I am happy with service they provided. I was in dark regarding a house that I am going to buy but they stepped in and shed some lights and gave me some insights about the condition of the property. They are resposive nd helpful. I am happy with their service and also I have to mention that their price was reasonable.

  My second time using their services, this time with surveyor Jack. As always: professional report, prompt response with follow up call. Honest (refunded unnecessary part of the survey). Got returning customer discount. Absolutely nothing to complain. They are ABLE, as the name says.
