Conveyancing & the searches to expect in Farnborough
A few standard checks are worth their weight when buying in Farnborough, here's what a good conveyancer will look at.
History, heritage & famous connections
Farnborough was a small village until the late 19th century, when the army's balloon and aviation research moved here, making it the cradle of British aviation. On 16 October 1908, Samuel Cody made the first powered flight in Britain here, and the Royal Aircraft Establishment made Farnborough a centre of aviation research for much of the 20th century.
The town grew rapidly around this work and the neighbouring army town of Aldershot, and gained St Michael's Abbey, built by the exiled Empress Eugenie as a mausoleum for her husband, Napoleon III. Today Farnborough is a large, well-connected town, home to a leading business airport, the world-famous airshow, a major business park and outstanding colleges, a modern, working town proud of its aviation heritage.
