Property in Redbridge

Crossrail is set to arrive at locations throughout the London Borough or Redbridge including Ilford and Seven Kings, which is likely to boost property prices there.

FAQs
- When is a HomeBuyer Report the right choice?
-
For modern properties that are in generally good condition, a mid-level HomeBuyer Report will usually be the best choice of survey. The report can also be used to determine the extent of any structural issues such as subsidence and damp. Older buildings, listed properties, non-standard buildings and large houses that need (or have undergone) substantial refurbishments or alterations are better suited to a comprehensive Building Survey.
- What’s the difference between a property valuation and an estate agent’s appraisal?
-
It is important not to confuse two very different approaches to ascertaining the value of a property. Estate agents use their local property experience to accurately price your home for sale, intending to win your business as a vendor. Approved valuers are bound by certain legal standards to carry out a formal property valuation, arriving at a factually supported and technically accurate calculation for value of your property.
