About UsHome Buyers Survey in Duffield

Should I get a HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey or Full Structural Survey on a house in Duffield and which one would be cheaper?
The Full Structural Survey has been renamed by RICS as a Building Survey, although it is basically the same the same.
If the Duffield property is an apartment, or is an older property, or has been extended or modified, or is of non standard construction, then RICS recommend a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to carry out any alterations, RICS recommend you go for a Building Survey. This option is less cheap but it does give a more detailed analysis of the Duffield property's general condition as well as including advice on structural defects and maintenance options .

Does a surveyor check indications of flooding damage?
It is estimated that over two million residences are in danger of water damage caused by flooding, and buyers cannot know that insurance against flooding will continue to be available. It is strongly recommended that the property is protected, before flooding occurs.
Flooding can increase the likelihood of water entering a residential property, such as via loose patio doors.
Familiarity with characteristics of the local area likely to affect residential property enables the property surveyor to surmise flooding may be a risk, even if the property has not itself flooded before. The property surveyor may ask the vendor or agent about historical floods, although the result of these enquires should be treated as a guide only.

I am purchasing a converted barn and the current owner has suggested that it has been partially constructed with Forest of Dean stone. What defects must we watch out for?
Stone walls often appear more robust than they are, and the defects impacting a type of stone will vary according to its properties. Stone quarried in the area is common to local properties in Duffield, but some do also feature cut stone brought from outside the county. Both regular or irregular stone can be mortared with lime-based mortar, which may be need of upkeep. A survey will include a range of suggestions or requirements for maintenance, such as repointing of loose or crumbling mortar.

I've put in an offer in Duffield. What warnings would a Duffield surveyor give?
Brick-built Duffield flats do benefit from many advantages compared to other building materials. Unfortunately, they also show signs of a range of defects.
For example, brick rot, resulting from decades of exposure to condensation or damp at ground level and may require immediate attention. Contact K M Building for a repairs estimate at 01224 325382 or 19 Gairsay Dr, Aberdeen, AB15 6JS.
Examples of decorative or unusual usage of brick include alternating courses of brick and stone, e.g. flint, but it is strongly advised that professional advice be sought prior to attempting repairs.
