About UsHome Buyers Survey in Southbourne
Should I have a HomeBuyer Report, Full Structural Survey or Building Survey for a house in Southbourne and which one would be the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has changed its name to a Building Survey, although it is essentially the same.
If the Southbourne property is a flat, or is over 100 years old, or has been structurally modified, or is of non standard construction, RICS advise the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are planning to carry out any major works, RICS advise you choose a Building Survey. The Building Survey is not as cheap, but it will give you exhaustive analysis of the Southbourne property's general condition as well as including advice on structural defects as well as maintenance options .

Are there any concerns we need to on guard for when intending to buy an extended house in Southbourne inside a conservation area, particularly with regards to house prices?
There are thousands official conservation areas in England and Wales which are governed by the local authority.
Home Buyers Surveys in Southbourne are required by RICS to have local knowledge of local issues and any relation may have with the property. Property Prices will probably be inflated as a result of the areas being preserved.
Surveyors can be expected to report whether the building could be is designated and the Section I Issues for your legal advisers of a Southbourne Homebuyer Report will advise further enquiries are carried out during the legal process. Out of keeping extensions to the property may be commented on, however these should be concern for your lawyer.
We believe this house is located in a low lying part of Southbourne. Is there a major flood risk? Would our building survey check possible water damage?
Flooding has become a serious concern, more so after it was reported that last year was the second wettest on record (source: Channel 4 News), and house purchasers cannot know that insurance against flooding will continue to be available. A surveyor has a number of options to assess whether a property is vulnerable. Flood water can enter a Southbourne house through several routes, including badly fitted air bricks. Details relating to signs of flooding may be reported in Section J of the HomeBuyer Report. The Environment Agency also publish details of previous flood warnings.
