What to check before buying here

• Some homes here were first sold 8 years ago, so they may still be inside a 10-year new-home warranty (such as NHBC Buildmark, Premier Guarantee or LABC Warranty). In the first two years the builder usually has to fix defects; after that, cover is mostly for structural problems. Ask the seller for the policy.
• The older homes here are past the usual 10-year new-home warranty, so any defects are now the owner's to fix. A RICS Level 2 or 3 survey matters more than for a newer home.
• 1 house here was sold leasehold. Check the lease length, ground rent and any permission fees before you buy.
• There are 261 flats here. For flats, ask about the service charge, the building's external walls (an EWS1 form, if one has been needed) and any planned major works.
• Ask whether the roads, drains and open spaces have been adopted by the council. If not, there is usually an estate management charge.
• See our snagging and defects guide and how to check who built a house.
