About UsHome Buyers Survey in Campden Hill

Is it best to get a HomeBuyer Report, Full Structural Survey or Building Survey on a home in Campden Hill and which one is the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has been updated to a Building Survey and is essentially the same survey.
If the Campden Hill property is a flat or maisonette, or is 100 or more years old, or has been extended, or is built of unusual materials, RICS advise a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to do any an extension, you should you opt for a Building Survey.

Is clay soil an issue in Campden Hill? Will the Property Survey consider this? Does the chartered surveyor give maintenance advice?
Subsidence is often the result of unseen, subterranean causes, including clay soil. Subsidence is one obvious concern, but there are others, including moisture changes in the soil. Clay soil is naturally lower in volume, and will compact over several months in the case of new-builds. This settlement is predictable and necessary - the real concern is contraction in clay soil caused by changes in the local water table. If present, expansive clay soil can put lateral pressure on a Campden Hill property's foundations, leading to bowing, cracks and severe structural damage. Steps like monitoring the moisture content of the soil around the foundations, and taking steps to keep the level reasonably stable can help maintain clay-rich soil, but a purchaser should discuss specifics with the surveyor if extensive upkeep is warranted. If you are particularly concerned about a crack or other sign of movement, the surveyor can also report on whether it is recent, or an indication of much earlier subsidence.
