About UsHome Buyers Survey in Rochester
Should we have a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report on a home in Rochester and which would be the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has been updated to a Building Survey and is effectively the same.
If the Rochester property is a flat, or is a period property, or has been structurally altered, or is built of unusual materials, you should choose the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are planning to carry out substantial modifications, it would be better that you choose a Building Survey. This more detailed survey is less cheap, but it does provide you with a more detailed analysis of the Rochester property's state of repair along with information on defects , repairs as well as maintenance options .

I am buying a farmhouse in Rochester. What impact will the construction have on maintenance?
Some buyers have considered buying a old, characterful home one day. A building's age, however, can worry purchasers. Rochester houses employing traditional or "vernacular" techniques can be expensive to maintain. You should be aware that specialist knowledge may be needed. Materials suitable for the work may also need to be sourced, particularly in the case of Grade I listed property. This may mean long-term upkeep. Mention this to the surveyor for more detail.
