Information on Hitchin

With the M1 to the west and the A1(M) to the east Hitchin is an ideal commuter town with a train link into London St Pancreas which on a fast train can take you into London in thirty minutes. Hitchin is surrounded by some picturesque villages including the small hamlet of Charlton to the south and Great Wymondley and Little Wymondley just before junction 8 of the A1(M) with a wealth of delightful properties.

The town is noted for its markets held on Tuesdays and Saturdays with its stalls set at the back of the market square next to the church of St Mary . The High Street has several of the national chain stores such as Boots, Next, Monsoon and FatFace but with the High Streets suffering in times of recession there are quite a few charity shops too. Hitchin has an oldie worldie feel with its narrow paths winding from the High Street to Church Street and its parade of shops off the Market Square.

There are plenty of places to stop to eat with a wealth of coffee shops and cafés, bars and restaurants in this lovely old market town where you can soak up the atmosphere particularly on a summer's day where there is usually something happening in the Market Square from Morris Dancing to a Food market. We have frequently carried out both residential and commercial surveys in Hitchin and the surrounding villages and note some substantial sought after properties in Gosmore Rd, Maydencroft Lane and Brick Kiln Lane.

 

Building Survey Hitchin

If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Hitchin or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Chartered Building Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.

All our survey contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
