Home Buyers Survey in Shirehampton

HomeBuyer Report

Is it best to select a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report on a house in Shirehampton and which one is cheaper?

The Full Structural Survey has a new name called a Building Survey but is essentially the same comprehensive survey.

If the Shirehampton property is an apartment, or is an older property, or has been structurally altered, or is built of unusual materials (e.g. steel and glass), then RICS recommend a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.

If you are planning to do any major works, it would be better that you go for a Building Survey. The Building Survey is less cheap however it does give a more detailed analysis of the Shirehampton property's condition and it includes more detailed advice on defects as well as maintenance options .

Wall cracks caused by subsidence

We are purchasing a home in Shirehampton and noticed there are no cracks in the brickwork outside, but sitting room floor dips noticeably, could this be evidence of subsidence? What subsidence issues will the house survey look into?

Movement of the foundations of a home is called subsidence. However, subsidence should be distinguished from the normal settlement of a home. Heave is less common, and can be caused when a tree dies or is uprooted and its root network no longer draws water from the subsoil.

Many properties develop superficial cracks in a wall, as a result of settlement. A sudden, severe shift in weather can also impact a house susceptible to further settlement, either because the structural integrity is already compromised, or due to the use of cheaper materials.

Restoration work cannot begin until the original source of the movement is found.This need not be expensive.Though tree roots are often the cause, removal of this plant life may make the problem worse, so professional advice should be sought. Damaged but non-structural elements should be filled and re-weatherproofed. Chartered surveyors should be able to identify a subsidence problem, while structural engineers may also be required.
