About UsHome Buyers Survey in East Croydon

Should we choose a HomeBuyer Report, Full Structural Survey or Building Survey for a home in East Croydon and which is cheaper?
The Full Structural Survey has been renamed a Building Survey, although it is basically the same the same survey.
If the East Croydon property is a flat or maisonette, or was built before 1900, or has been structurally altered, or is built of unusual materials (e.g. steel and glass), you should choose a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you intend to do any major works, RICS advise you commission a Building Survey. This more detailed survey is less cheap, however it will give you an in-depth analysis of the East Croydon property's state of repair as well as an opinion on defects and maintenance options .

Should I spend a bit more on the full structural survey if buying a neglected fifties townhouse near East Croydon instead of a HomeBuyer Report?
Conventionally and incorrectly referred to as a Structural Survey by house buyers, it is now defunct and as it has been renamed by RICS(Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) and the right name is now the Building Survey.
The HomeBuyer Report has enough detail for a mid century or later unmodified house made out of typical building materials i.e. brick/tile. A Building Survey would be the most suitable selection for the house described. Subsequent to a thorough survey of the inside and outside of the main building and permanent outbuildings, the RICS surveyors report will be dispatched to you providing any crucial details on the construction materials used on the house. There are one or two limitations with any residential survey insofar as a RICS surveyor is not in a position to force or open up the fabric of the East Croydon building such as undoing electrical fittings.
