Hemel Hempstead was an agricultural market town before it was designated a New Town in 1947. The original core survives as the Old Town, now the Hemel Hempstead Old Town conservation area. Its listed High Street buildings include 16th and 17th century timber-framed houses, and timber frames hidden behind 18th century brick and plaster fronts. For a home like this, or any listed or heavily altered property, a RICS Level 3 Building Survey is usually the right choice.
Much of the town is New Town housing, built in planned neighbourhoods starting with Adeyfield, with Grovehill, begun in 1967, the last of the original plan. Prefabrication was used from the mid-1950s and some designs were experimental, so it is worth establishing how a particular house was built. A conventionally built home in reasonable condition often suits a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report, while non-standard construction points to Level 3.
The town sits in a chalk valley where the Gade and Bulbourne meet, and the Environment Agency runs a flood alert area for both rivers, including Boxmoor, so flood risk is worth checking near the water. Dacorum Borough Council has also investigated old chalk workings at Highbarns after a shaft collapse in 2007.
Around 11,000 new homes are planned to the north and east of the town by 2050. Buyers of a new-build home can book a snagging survey.
Every level is available for properties in Hemel Hempstead. Each card shows who it suits.

I'm impressed; our survey was carried out within a week of us requesting it and the finished report was delivered soon after. The report was comprehensive, detailed and written in such a manner that it could be understood by both laymen and more experienced persons. Communication was excellent and someone picks up the phone when you need to discuss something. Excellent.
From the initial enquiry, through to issuing the level 3 home survey report, Michael was great. The quote and booking process was easy. He was responsive to questions, and called me after he carried out the survey on the property to update me verbally on the main points. The report itself was very thorough. I highly recommend.
