About UsHome Buyers Survey in Norfolk Broads
Should I book a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report for a property in Norfolk Broads and which is the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has been updated to a Building Survey and is effectively the same survey.
If the Norfolk Broads property is a flat or maisonette, or is a period property, or has been structurally modified, or is of non standard construction, RICS recommend the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are planning to do any major works, you should you go for a Building Survey. The Building Survey is less cheap, however it will give you a thorough analysis of the Norfolk Broads property's general condition as well as advice on structural defects as well as maintenance options .

What should we be concerned about when buying a property near to a rubbish landfill
Sites used for landfill come in many shapes and sizes for example: non-hazardous rubbish disposal. Understandably, no one would want to live near one (4/5 people live within 1.5m of one!). Concerns might include chemicals like dioxins. Potential health problems for example spina bifida have been associated to landfill sites .
Building Surveys and valuations in Norfolk Broads will examine any structural defects connected with the landfill. Your conveyancing solicitor will commission conveyancing searches of the British Geological databases as well as Broadland Local Authority and inform you of any issues and let you know if the searches fail .
I have been told that clay soil can cause difficulties for property in Norfolk Broads. Does a Home Survey discuss soil composition the report?
Factors from dry rot to low-grade construction materials can cause inconvenience for a house-owner. Clay-rich soil, for example, is a potential source of numerous issues. Subsidence is a major concern, but there are others, including severe changes in the water table level. Evidence of clay soil-related problems can sometimes be found throughout a home. The real impact of this could reveal itself as anything from unremarkable cracks along the lounge wall, to complete structural failure. Steps like even minor landscaping so that the ground slopes away from the property can help maintain clay-rich soil, but a purchaser should discuss specifics with the surveyor if extensive upkeep is warranted. Additional strengthening or support of the structure's foundations may be required, including underpinning or piling.
For a HomeBuyer Report on a Norfolk Broads residential property what does a green light rating mean for 'E4 - Main walls' ?
Foundations and possible defects within the walls will not be investigated, an in-depth building survey may be required if serious foundational issues are suspected. Damp proofing, including the DPC, is also included here. Missing bricks would be reported here, for example.
A rating of 'green', or 1, means that the element of the property being investigated is in good condition. However, frequent maintenance could still be needed. The RICS HomeBuyer Report is designed to be user-friendly, unlike some more complex survey reports. Red, amber and green ratings give property buyers indicate the severity of any defects or points of interest included in the report.
