Buying in Hounslow
A leafy and ethnically diverse London borough stretching from Heathrow Airport in the west to Chiswick in the east. Heathrow is the area’s biggest employer and also brings fantastic transport links. However, levels of pollution from the airport are a factor which make Heathrow a mixed blessing for the local community.
Properties in the London Borough of Hounslow vary greatly. There are expensive detached Victorian and Edwardian villas to be found in Chiswick alongside contemporary apartments that are popular with commuters. In Feltham, there are opportunities for more affordable terraced and semi-detached housing.
Trinity Square and Central House are two superb development’s by Galliard Homes and perfectly placed in West London’s enterprising, up and coming district.

FAQs
A Schedule of Condition documents the condition of a commercial or residential building at a particular point in time. It’s a valuable device to use at the beginning of a new tenancy or lease term to protect the interests of landlord and tenant in the event of any future dilapidations claims. It can also be used for Party Wall Awards to safeguard the interests of the Building Owner and Adjoining Owner.
In the event of a separation or divorce, all assets will need to be divided fairly between the parties. A formal property valuation carried out by an independent, RICS certified expert will help to protect the interests of both parties and limit the scope for dispute. It is useful to jointly appoint a surveyor or valuer prior to any legal proceedings taking place.
