Living near A217 Kingswood/Banstead

[zeospeed]

Hello
We're seeing a house tomorrow in the Banstead/Kingswood area. It's a decent house on a private road with a good plot and great for work/school for kids. There is roughly 50m of trees/shrub-land separating it from the house/private road itself and you can't see the traffic.

I scoped out today and you can certainly hear the white noise from outside. Personally not a deal breaker for me having lived in London for all my life. My only concern is investment value, the property was on the market for a while but now has more interest after they dropped the price slightly. I am unlikely to sell for the next 10 years but obviously have to consider this.

I've used the pollution map naei.beis.gov.uk/emissionsapp/ and it's certainly not much better/worse than anywhere further into London.

Anyone living 50m-100m from the A217 have any insight?

Thanks (I apologise second q in the day for me)

I know the area as a family member lives near the garage with M&S in it.
To be fair I’ve not overly noticed the traffic noise from their garden.

Of course it will put some off, others won’t be bothered. I’m ex London myself and now rural Hampshire market town. My garden has noise from the A3 which is fast moving about half a mile away. Far noisier than my London house ha ha. But I don’t have the same noise of the London sirens all hours.

If you like the property go for it. It’s a popular area and Banstead is nice.
