Why should I consider buying a property in the New Forest?
The New Forest is a beautiful and surprisingly well-connected part of the country, offering something for everyone. The glorious heathland and woodland spaces are perfect for getting outdoors and enjoying a breath of fresh air while the delightful towns and villages provide hubs of community and amenities.
There is a huge variety of properties available throughout the New Forest, from modern housing developments to centuries-old, thatched cottages in secluded settings. Pick the property that reflects your taste and suits your lifestyle. Wherever you choose to settle, you will never be too far from all the amenities you need, from independent shops to schools, doctors, restaurants, pubs and supermarkets.
There are several train stations in the area which link quickly and easily throughout the New Forest and beyond. Brockenhurst train station, for example, offers direct trains to London which take 1.5 hours. Southampton is a 15-20 minute journey.
The A31, which becomes the M27, passes through the New Forest and links drivers quickly and easily with the country’s major road network. Thanks to its excellent transport links, the New Forest is a popular place for commuters to make a home in the country and is a haven for boat owners/sailors who enjoy access into the Solent from the many marinas along the coast.
If you enjoy a rural on waterside lifestyle while remaining in easy reach of major cities, the New Forest could be the perfect place for your next property purchase. If you do decide to look for property here, it is essential to ask trusted New Forest surveyors to inspect any property before purchase. They will be able to highlight any issues and advise on the best next steps.
Home Condition Report in the New Forest
It can be difficult to decide which survey is most appropriate for a property you are considering buying. If the property is more modern, in generally good condition, a A Level 1 Survey will check there are no hidden flaws.
Your surveyor in the New Forest will carry out a thorough inspection and deliver a report with simple traffic light ratings to give insight into your potential purchase.
RICS Level 3 Building Survey New Forest
At the other end of the scale, there are many old, large and unusually built properties in the area which require a bespoke Level 3 Building Survey, often called a Structural Survey. Our surveyors in the New Forest have years of experience with a range of local buildings and land, enabling them to draw upon unrivalled expertise to write their reports.
A RICS Level 3 Building survey goes into greater depth, and your report will include photographs, repair options, advice about what might happen without intervention and maintenance advice specific to that property.
Level 2 Homebuyer Report New Forest
When you buy a property, you should always ask a professional surveyor to check it is in good condition.
This gives reassurance that there aren’t structural issues and there won’t be unexpected repair work after your purchase.
A Level 2 Homebuyer Report is a mid-level property survey designed for conventional homes in reasonable condition. It provides a detailed visual inspection of the property, highlighting any significant defects, potential issues, and urgent repairs. The report includes assessments of damp, subsidence, roof condition, windows, and insulation, along with guidance on necessary maintenance. It also includes a market valuation and a reinstatement cost for insurance purposes.
Limited Defect Report New Forest
Not all clients are purchasing property, and we are often asked by residents to inspect specific issues causing concern. If you have noticed a crack in the wall, a patch of damp, an uneven roof, a woodworm infestation or other problem, our team will offer a Limited Defect Report to investigate.
This report will put your mind at ease, alerting you to the cause of the issue and advising on what you should do.
Party Wall Surveying in the New Forest
If you or your neighbour are planning works at/near your party wall, you may have disagreements. A reliable and impartial way to resolve issues is to ask an experienced Chartered Surveyor to lend their expertise.
Often, this prevents matters from escalating and helps both sides come to an agreement backed by the correct application of The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996.
