Buying on Cobham Road

Before you offer on a home on Cobham Road: the checks to raise with your surveyor and conveyancer, whether an asking price stands up against what sold nearby, how prices here have moved since 1995, what it costs to run a home, and a buyer's report for every home on the street.

1 thing to raise before an offer (checked at WS10 0JH), and a street where the typical sale was £185k. In Friar Park.
