Why should I consider buying a property in Park Gate?

Park Gate enjoys a fantastic location between the major city of Southampton and bustling Portsmouth. It is set on the River Hamble which opens out to the Solent, making this the ideal place for boat owners and anyone who loves to be by the water.

You’ll instantly feel part of the thriving residential community and discover you have everything you need for day-to-day life. There’s a Post Office, Sainsbury’s Local, a delicatessen, doctor’s surgery, hairdressers and independent shops. For bigger shopping excursions, the nearby Locks Heath Shopping Centre hosts plenty of high street names.  

When you need to travel further afield, Park Gate is in easy reach of the M27 and the closest train station is in Swanwick. The latter links you to destinations all over the country, with regular direct trains to London.

For holidays and trips abroad, Southampton Airport and the sea ports at Southampton are extremely convenient options. Why not pop to the Isle of Wight by ferry, head off on a cruise or zip to Europe for a break? 

HomeBuyers Survey Park Gate

There’s something for everyone in delightful Park Gate. When you’ve found the property you’ve been searching for, whether it’s a large family home or petite flat, it’s important to get an appropriate property survey. These essential reports will reveal information about the building and location to make sure you face no nasty surprises post completion.  

At Trinity Rose Surveyors Park Gate, we offer a range of surveys which go into different levels of detail and cost different amounts. Many people opt for a RICS Level 2 Survey, which highlights serious problems, but doesn’t go into structural detail. This kind of report is also known as a HomeBuyer Report (Survey) and is a good choice if the property has been built in the past 100 years and has not been significantly altered.

Our surveyors in Park Gate regularly carry out HomeBuyer Reports which tell clients about the condition of the property. We will reveal any serious problems that may require urgent or specialist attention and use a clear, concise ‘traffic light’ rating system to make everything as simple as possible. The report includes:

• background information on the property and settings
• a review of any timber/damp issues
• a review of drainage and insulation
•  assessment of the key building elements

You can also choose to add a valuation, which is helpful for a variety of reasons. A HomeBuyer Report (Survey and Valuation) is identical to above, but also includes a market valuation and insurance rebuild cost.

Building Survey Report Park Gate

For older, large, unusual or substantially altered properties, it’s likely that you’ll need a more in-depth structural report. In this case, a RICS Level 3 Building Survey is likely to be the best choice.

You may know this, our most comprehensive report, as a Structural Survey. It is the best way to really put your mind at ease and uncover any secrets before you make a big commitment.

A Building Survey Report in Park Gate with Trinity Rose includes:

• a description of all visible defects
• photographs to illustrate our findings
• serious problems and potentially dangerous conditions such as woodworm, dampness, subsidence and structural movement
• any potential problems caused by hidden flaws
• an outline of repair options
• what might happen if you don’t follow the recommended actions

Home Condition Report Park Gate

At the other end of the scale, for properties that are newer or apparently problem-free, a Level 1 Survey or Home Condition Report is likely to be sufficient. This is our least expensive survey option and gives you peace of mind that there are no structural problems.

A Home Condition Report in Park Gate provides a simple overview about the property. It includes traffic light ratings to concisely tell you everything you need to know to confidently proceed with your purchase.  

Limited Defect Report Park Gate

Many people don’t realise that professional surveyors can help with individual issues as well as full structural surveys. If you’d like an expert’s opinion on a crack, patch of damp, uneven roof or infestation, ask about our Limited Defect Reports.

We can help you better understand the severity of a problem and put together a diagnostic survey including recommendations for next steps. These reports are helpful for current properties as well as houses and flats clients are thinking of buying.
