Settling in Chertsey
Is Chertsey right for you?
Chertsey suits outdoor lovers, remote workers, retirees and buyers of a secondary residence. You need to check whether the road is public or private, rights of way to the lake and the municipal rules protecting shorelines. Inspection of the well and septic tank is essential for any property not connected to a municipal network. For an older chalet, take a close look at the insulation, foundation and heating.
