Property in Ealing

Once known as Queen of the Suburb, Ealing in West London still boasts roads of fine Victorian and Edwardian double-fronted residences, though streets of more modest semi-detached houses can also be found. It’s a popular area for families and commuters, set to become even easier with the arrival of the Elizabeth Line.

The less-than-impressive town centre is being overhauled, with three major regeneration schemes promising to bring homes, shops, cafes, restaurants, and leisure amenities. New development schemes include Dickens Yard, Filmworks and Perceval House promising an abundance of town centre flats.

According to Rightmove, Ealing has an average property price of £726,209, with the majority of sales taking place last year involving flats.

FAQs

Why it’s important to get a survey before you buy

Are you familiar with the principle of caveat emptor – buyer beware? It means that it is the responsibility of the buyer to detect faults or defects in a building before committing to the purchase.

Not bothering with a professional survey can be a risky strategy, since any short-term cost savings may well turn out to be a false economy. Issues such as damp or roof problems could have been identified by a professional surveyor, while the cost of remedial works would have given leverage to reduce the purchase price. The case for commissioning a professional property survey prior to the purchase cannot be understated.

What’s the next step after a HomeBuyer Report?

Once you’ve digested the contents of the HomeBuyer Report, and asked us for clarification on anything you don’t understand, there are several ways you can proceed. If all is well and only a few minor issues are found, you’re safe to go ahead with the purchase. However, if major defects or underlying problems have been identified, it may be best to investigate further using a Specific Defect Report, Damp Survey or other relevant building survey before you make your final decision.
