Why do Banstead properties near the Downs seem to have more drainage issues?
Properties on Banstead's elevated areas near the North Downs face unique challenges from clay soil movement and increased surface water runoff during heavy rainfall. The combination of steep gradients and London Clay subsoil can stress drainage systems, particularly affecting older properties in these sought-after locations.
