About UsHome Buyers Survey in Penzance
Is it best to opt for a HomeBuyer Report, Full Structural Survey or Building Survey on a property in Penzance and which is the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has been renamed a Building Survey, although it is essentially the same.
If the Penzance property is a flat or maisonette, or is over 100 years old, or has been structurally modified, or is of non standard construction (i.e. not made of bricks), you should choose the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to do any major works, it would be better that you choose a Building Survey. This survey is less cheap however it will provide you with a more detailed analysis of the Penzance property's condition along with information on defects as well as maintenance options .
