Information on Letchworth Garden City
North of Stevenage and south of Sandy is the delightful town of Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire with the A1(M) to its east. Letchworth Garden City was the first Garden City from the idea by Ebenezer Howard to design a town taking carefully located areas of houses or homes, industrial and agricultural areas. In his book To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Modern Reform in 1898 it gives great detail about the concept and has diagrams and is certainly worth taking a look at which inspired Welwyn Garden City. This concept was used in America and Australia and is certainly very pleasant to drive around but was also said to influence modern New Towns such as Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
Letchworth has some interesting buildings and architecture including The Spirella Building which was once a corset company with amazing facilities for the employees at the time including a library, baths, showers, gymnastic classes etc and today is home to modern office space, café, fitness centre and has a splendid Ballroom for events including wedding ceremonies and receptions, The Settlement, which was the town's renowned pub with no beer opened in 1907 as the Skittles Inn in Nevells Rd, today it is an adult education centre and venue for local activities, in Eastcheap the Art Deco 1930s Broadway Cinema and in South View Howgills which was built in 1907 commissioned by industrialist Sir James Reckitt's daughter Juliet as a Quaker Meeting House.
We often find ourselves as Chartered Surveyors in the town conducting residential and commercial Building Surveys and we often reflect how many roundabouts there are in the country today as we negotiate the country's first roundabout just off the Broadway with its sign depicting circa 1909, as it was introduced by the towns architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin.
Letchworth has a wide variety of residential properties including some larger dwellings in Pasture Rd, Norton Rd and Kristiansand Way .

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.
