Q. How
many types of survey are available?
There are two types of surveys -
the Home Buyers Report and the Residential
Building Survey (this
used to be called the structural survey)
The Home Buyers Report is for modern
properties that haven't been altered or are around the 30 to 40 years old mark. Some
surveying companies carry out home buyer reports on properties
that are over 100 years old. We don't recommend this.
The Residential Building
Survey can suit whatever property you
wish.
Some people become confused with
there being three types of surveys - including
the valuation to be the third one. This is not the case,
the valuation that the lending association carry out some people
become confused by (the Bankers and Building Society's carry these
out)
