    What to Expect From Conveyancing Searches in Hammersmith and Fulham?

    A key step when it comes to buying a house in the UK is the conveyancing process. This process includes conveyancing searches organised by your conveyancer. These searches can provide essential information on the property and the surrounding area. This ensures that you have a full overview of the home before completing the purchase.

    In Hammersmith and Fulham, there is a high risk of surface water flooding. This usually happens as a result of thunderstorms when heavy rainfall causes water to run off roofs. This can flood homes via the doorway or collect in the basements in the borough. High levels of rain can also cause sewers to overflow, contributing to flooding issues.

    Geobear's Subsidence Map shows that Hammersmith and Fulham experience high levels of subsidence. It is essential that you are aware of any potential risks around the home you are looking to purchase.

    West London has the lowest levels of Radon Gas found across London, with notably low amounts found in Hammersmith and Fulham. It is therefore unlikely that Radon Gas will be noted as a concern during your environmental searches.
