About UsHome Buyers Survey in Darton

Should we book a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report on a home in Darton and which one is the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has been renamed a Building Survey, although it is effectively the same.
If the Darton property is a flat or maisonette, or is 100 or more years old, or has been extended or modified, or is built of unusual materials, RICS advise a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you intend to make any major works, it would be better that you book a Building Survey instead. This option is not as cheap however it does offer a thorough analysis of the Darton property's general condition in addition to information on defects , repairs as well as maintenance options .

In the HomeBuyer Report, what impact can a Condition rating 2 have on windows?
Condition rating 2 suggests that the aspect of the Darton house or flat in question will need some work. In contrast to more serious, 'red' rated, defects, these issues do not require immediate attention. In some cases, an element covered under Section E may be marked as NI, or 'Not inspected'. The structured format for the HomeBuyer Report is intended to produce a useful and comprehensive survey for any home purchasers. As a result, some sections are omitted where they do not apply to the surveyed property. Where practicable, all windows are to be opened and closed, but not forced open, and vulnerable areas closely examined. The surveyor should make notes and advise the client whether it is possible to operate the window transoms/openings satisfactorily. An inadequate weatherstrip on a window, for example, is included in Section E.

I am looking for English Garden Wall bond maintenance advice - can a Darton property surveyor assist? What impact do Darton environmental conditions have?
Brick-walled Darton residential property can experience several common problems. This could be anything from horizontal cracking to inadequate damp-proofing. Your surveyor would usually include these. A defect requiring immediate attention is patchwork cracks caused by tie failure. This cracking may only be visible internally, and is accompanied by an irregular wall surface. Brain Andrew H at 65 Shepherds Leaze, Wotton-Under-Edge, GL12 7LJ should give an estimate for any work. Call them on 01453 521361.
For example, Dutch bond, which is similar to English bond.

We are planning to buy a home in Darton and saw evidence of there are no cracks in the brickwork outside, but garage floor dips noticeably, could this be evidence of subsidence? What subsidence issues does the RICS Surveyor report on?
Movement of the foundations of a building is called subsidence. However, there is a difference between settlement and subsidence. In contrast to subsidence, $heave$ can occur when a tree has been removed water can collect in the ground, which causes the soil to swell, forcing the foundations above upwards, and can be as destructive as subsidence.
Superficial cracks not caused by subsidence can be repaired with filler. Signs of potential subsidence include new or growing cracks in plasterwork.
The root cause of any subsidence must be found before repairs can commence. It has been estimated that around 70% subsidence cases are caused by tree roots drawing moisture from the soil. Damaged but non-structural elements should be filled and re-weatherproofed. Specialist geological and drain surveys may also be required as the movement of soil can sometimes crack drains or water mains.
