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.

Average property prices in Hounslow are at around £388,913 (Rightmove), which is 15% up on 2016. Most properties sold last year were semi-detached houses.

Why would I need a Schedule of Condition?: 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.
What is a matrimonial property valuation?: 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.

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.
