About UsHome Buyers Survey in West Hendon
Should we go for a HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey or Full Structural Survey on a house in West Hendon and which one is cheaper?
The Full Structural Survey has changed its name to a Building Survey, although it is essentially the same level of survey.
If the West Hendon property is an apartment, or is a period property, or has been structurally altered, or is of non standard construction (i.e. not made of bricks), you should go for the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to make significant alterations, RICS advise you carry out a Building Survey. This more detailed survey is not as cheap however it will give comprehensive details of the West Hendon property's condition as well as including more detailed advice on defects and maintenance options .

Would our home buyers survey check signs of flood damage?
Recent conflict between insurers has the government has caused a great deal of uncertainty, and the value of a house in West Hendon in an at-risk area may be impacted. The Environment Agency maintain a flood risk alert service, with regular updated risk assessments, and a property surveyor will advise on repairs or preventative measures.
Familiarity with characteristics of the local area likely to affect home enables the residential surveyor to surmise flooding may be a risk, even if the property has not itself flooded before. Flooding issues will only be raised in Section J of a Building Survey if the residential surveyor observes or has reason to suspect that the home is at risk.
According to the Environment Agency, no recent flood warnings were found for West Hendon.

Is clay soil an issue in West Hendon? Will my West Hendon Home Buyers Survey look into this?
Surveyors handle more questions relating to subsidence than any other topic, and clay soil is a major contributing factor to the problem. Specific issues include movement of clay soil layers resulting from changes in their water content. Drought, for instance, can have a contracting effect on clay soil, putting pressure on the building's structure and potentially leading to very noticeable effects within the property. The real impact of this could reveal itself as anything from unremarkable separation of the skirting board from the floor, to complete structural failure. When performing your Home Buyers Survey in West Hendon, your surveyor will consider the impact the soil composition has had, and may have, on the house. The building foundations may need extra support in some cases. A surveyor can confirm if this is necessary, as it can be a lengthy process.
