About UsHome Buyers Survey in Rolleston On Dove
Should we opt for a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report for a house in Rolleston On Dove and which one would be cheaper?
The Full Structural Survey has been updated to a Building Survey but is effectively the same comprehensive survey.
If the Rolleston On Dove property is a flat or maisonette, or was built before 1900, or has been structurally modified, or is of non standard construction, you should go for a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to do any works or an extension, you should you book a Building Survey. This survey is not as cheap as a HomeBuyer Report however it does offer an in-depth analysis of the Rolleston On Dove property's state of repair and it includes advice on structural defects as well as maintenance options .

Are there any factors we would need to look out for when intending to buy an extended house in Rolleston On Dove near a conservation area, particularly with regards to house prices?
There are 9, 300 of conservation areas throughout the country that are designated and monitored by the local authority.
A Building Surveyors are required by RICS to possess local knowledge of relevant local area issues and the connection may have with the property and its value. House prices tends to be higher as a result of conservation areas being preserved. However many conservation areas have been neglected and are in poor condition e.g. the excessive amount of traffic management signs
RICS surveyors will report if the planned purchase is or might be within a conservation area and Section I of your Rolleston On Dove Homebuyer Report will suggest additional due diligence and enquiries are conducted during the conveyancing process. Unapproved extensions to the property should be noted but these are really more a concern for your lawyer.
The property we plan to purchase is built on clay soil. Does a Property Survey discuss soil composition the report?
Without due care and attention, foundations dug into clay soil can quickly suffer adverse affects. Specific issues include considerable shifts in soil volume caused by variable moisture content. The composition of clay soil varies greatly, with some areas being more susceptible to clay soil subsidence than others, but the effects can be very similar. .
If present, expansive clay soil can put lateral pressure on a Rolleston On Dove home's foundations, forcing them inward.
Taking precautions, such as keeping standing water on the property in check, can make long term maintenance easier, and keep repair costs manageable. 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.
Does a RICS surveyor look at the state of repair of the gas supply?
A surveyor will locate and visually survey the easily accessible parts of the system. This will mean gas related areas such as gas heaters at the property, in addition to gas associated appliances or installations, for instance balanced flues (where immediately extended from appliance/external element).. A Rolleston On Dove qualified RICS surveyor won't remove any gas fittings and won't do any tests on the system. Most people are aware that gas is potentially unsafe and if there are any worries about gas, call a gas safe engineer.
We are purchasing a maisonette in Rolleston On Dove, does the home buyers survey investigate indications of water damage?
