Buying in Stratford? Check the property first.

Hazard layers, title types and school zones differ from one Stratford street to the next, so the useful answer is always address-level. Type the address and see what the records show, before you order a LIM.

What we check for Stratford addresses

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Stratford District layers: other planning overlays.
School zones, active faults, sun and aspect, and the area profile from national datasets.

Anything we cannot check for an address is labelled as not checked, never guessed. A LIM from Stratford District remains the complete legal record.

Is Stratford in a flood zone?

Stratford District's mapped hazard layers for this district are limited, so address-level checking plus a LIM matters more here, not less. The property check reads what is available for the exact address and is clear about anything not checked.
