Known issues to be aware of
  • Pre-1919 fabric — expect higher maintenance baseline (windows, drains, roof line, lime mortar)
  • Partial double glazing on EPC record — confirm scope of recent reglazing programme
  • Property sits within radon affected area — confirm post-renovation testing
  • Coal mining reporting area — CON29M required
  • Outside any flood zone — no specific flood enquiries needed
  • No restrictive covenants flagged on title summary (full register pending)

Possible defects to investigate
  • Damp / lime mortar · age and Pre-1919 brick construction warrant moisture profiling at survey.
  • Roof structure · vendor states "brand new roof"; ask for installer details and any guarantees.
  • Electrical / plumbing · vendor states "all new"; obtain EICR & gas safe certs.
  • Window glazing · EPC shows partial double glazing — clarify which windows reglazed.
  • Drainage & downpipes · CCTV survey advisable for older property; flag with conveyancer.
  • Chimney / flue · 5kW log burner present — confirm HETAS certification.
Surveyor checklist
  • RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer · Recommended baseline given pre-1919 age + recent renovation.
  • Consider Level 3 Building Survey · Where radon + coal mining intersect, and where ~£550k is being committed.
  • Damp & timber · request moisture-meter profiling on internal walls.
  • Drainage CCTV · advisable for any pre-1919 stock.
  • Ventilation · log burner + new build envelope — check ventilation strategy.

AI Interpretation

Plain-English read of what the data means for this buyer, this property and this transaction. Generated against the inputs above — sources, distances and confidence are preserved on every claim.

What it means

A fully renovated 4-bed Victorian detached, priced almost exactly on AI valuation after a January reduction. The location has no flood exposure, no Japanese knotweed signal, and no listed-building or conservation overlay. The two flags worth investigating are radon (intersects title — confirm whether BR211 protective measures were installed during the recent rebuild) and coal mining (CON29M Coal Authority search will be conclusive). Both are typical for the Coal Measures geology of South Yorkshire and are routinely managed at conveyancing.

Pricing looks fair: at £549,950 the asking is 0.3% under model and £274/ft² is an 8.7% premium to the area average — supported by the property's renovation, scale (203 m²) and electric garage, but worth probing in negotiation given Q1 2026 market softness.

What to check
  • Radon test post-renovation
  • CON29M coal search
  • Building Regs sign-off for 2024 works
  • FENSA / EICR / Gas Safe / HETAS certs
  • Drainage CCTV (advisory)
  • Damp profiling at survey
Questions to ask vendor
  • Was the rebuild a wholesale renovation or staged?
  • Who installed the new roof / boiler / wiring?
  • Are window guarantees transferable?
  • Any planning application withdrawn / refused?
  • Any boundary disputes with neighbours?
  • Insurance claim history (5 yrs)?
Recommended next steps
  1. Now: Book a viewing focused on garden boundary, log burner cert, glazing scope.
  2. Pre-offer: Request EICR, Gas Safe, FENSA, HETAS docs.
  3. At offer: Open at £535,000 (-2.7%); ceiling £549,950.
  4. Post-offer: Instruct RICS Level 2 (Level 3 if ceiling reached).
  5. Conveyancer: Send the 10 enquiries on Page 5 day 1.
