About UsHome Buyers Survey in Ladywell
Should I have a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report for a home in Ladywell and which one is cheaper?
The Full Structural Survey has been renamed by RICS as a Building Survey but is effectively the same survey.
If the Ladywell property is a flat, or is a period property, or has been substantially modified, or is of non standard construction, you should go for the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you intend to make alterations, you should you carry out a Building Survey. This more detailed survey is not as cheap but it will offer an in-depth analysis of the Ladywell property's state of repair in addition to an opinion on defects as well as maintenance options .

We are buying in Ladywell, and the home's foundations have been built on clay soil. Does the Property Survey cover this?
Subsidence is often the result of unseen, subterranean causes, including clay soil. Specific issues include soil swelling. There may be little evidence of underlying defects, such as a sticking door in the bathroom. Fortunately, there are steps a home owner can take. Your surveyor should refer to maintenance options in their report, like taking care not to let plant life, including some as bushes and trees, take root close to the property. If soil moisture levels must be kept stable, uniform spread of the moisture is essential. Subsidence and heave can be caused by a general increase or decrease in moisture, but isolated patches of wet and dry can just as easily warp foundations, putting them under even greater pressure.
What should we be worried about when buying a home close to a refuse landfill site
Sites used for landfill are used for a variety of waste including inert waste material. No one wants to live near one (4/5 people live within 1.5m of one!). Risks include bacterial decomposition resulting in methane. Health concerns like birth defects have been associated to landfill sites .
Ladywell surveyors will flag up structural problems resulting from the landfill. Your conveyancer will commission environmental searches of the Environmental Agency databases and Lewisham Local Authority and give you the results of the search .
Does a Building survey in Ladywell include a valuation and an estimate of rebuild costs for insurance purposes and how is it calculated?
Homebuyer Reports include a (registered valuer) surveyor valuation and a cost of reinstatement as part of the survey. To properly appraise the valuation the surveyor will use local property market knowledge and other considerations relating to the property e.g. style of architecture Surveyors also reflect on certain fixtures and fittings and make certain other assumptions, for example there are no dangerous materials.
A Building Survey does not include a valuation as standard. However we can add a valuation for a small additional fee. Alternatively a Property Valuation Report (PVR) can be carried out. It will be assumed that there is an absence of any costly legal issues for example the tenure being as indicated (e.g freehold). Advice should be sought from your conveyancing solicitor.
Additional local Ladywell area conjectures, for example problematic roads and access, are made in addition to Ladywell environmental issues like mining activity, which will also be factored in.
