About Us

Home Buyers Survey in Ruislip

HomeBuyer Report

Should I go for a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report for a property in Ruislip and which one is cheaper?

The Full Structural Survey has changed its name to a Building Survey, although it is essentially the same survey.

If the Ruislip property is an apartment, or is over 100 years old, or has been substantially modified, or is built of unusual materials, RICS advise the cheaper HomeBuyer Report.

If you intend to do any major works, RICS advise you opt for a Building Survey. This survey is not as cheap, however it does give you a more detailed analysis of the Ruislip property's state of repair as well as more detailed advice on defects and maintenance options .

Traditionally built property

We are buying an older converted barn in Ruislip. What impact will the thatched roof have on maintenance?

Vernacular architecture can create difficulties for an owner. Ruislip homes showcasing traditional or "vernacular" techniques can be challenging to maintain. It is often the case that specialist expertise is necessary. .

Construction materials, such as suitable timber, may also need to be sourced. Built in around 1314, Manor Farm, Great Barn in Ruislip is an example of a traditional Medieval-period barn.

Damage resulting from flooding

We are intending to buy a house in Ruislip, does the RICS surveyor check for possible flooding damage?

A wide variety of factors can cause flooding, from inadequate drainage to tidal activity, and the value of a Ruislip house in an at-risk area may be impacted. A surveyor has a number of options to assess whether a property is vulnerable. In addition, the home survey may advise appropriate repairs.The home survey will also include details of any evidence of historical flooding, and may comment generally about the area's propensity to flood. Also included on Environment Agency's flood risk alert are details of local rivers and other bodies of water prone to flooding.

The alert level for the Yeading Brooks East and West at Ruislip and Harrow, near to Ruislip of 'No warnings', was recently set by the Environment Agency on 15/07/12.
