Home Buyers Survey in Seascale

HomeBuyer Report

Is it best to get a HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey or Full Structural Survey for a house in Seascale and which one would be cheaper?

The Full Structural Survey has a new name called a Building Survey, although it is effectively the same comprehensive survey.

If the Seascale property is an apartment, or was built before 1900, or has been extended, or is built of unusual materials, RICS advise a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.

If you intend to make any works or an extension on the property, you should you book a Building Survey. This more detailed survey is less cheap, however it will give you exhaustive analysis of the Seascale property's condition along with more detailed advice on defects and maintenance options .

External brick wall issue identified during property survey

I've put in an offer in Seascale. What input does you give? Are brick walls hard to repair?

Brick Seascale properties will be affected by both minor and serious issues. For example, rusted ties (this decay can be accelerated by black ash mortar often found in older properties). This expansion of the ties as they rust causes horizontal cracks leading to structural issues and may require immediate attention. Spooner D J should be able to provide an estimate for repair work. Contact them at 35 Whitby Gardens, Sutton, SM1 3NA or 020 8644 9096.

Seascale home purchasers may need to consider that number of approaches and materials have been a feature of house construction in this country for 100s of years. For example, Flemish bond, featuring alternating long and short faces of bricks. If the surveyor does raise concerns about a brick wall defect or structural issue, it may be wise to speak to a builder before completion to assess the extent and cost of the work.

Timber damage by insect larvae

We are buying in Seascale, and think we saw signs of an infestation in the loft conversion. What should we do?

Questions regarding the infestation of a Seascale property may not be raised during the conveyancing.

Unfortunately, the threat posed by these to property is very real, and can impact a home's worth. Evidence may not be easy to find, the smell of ammonia in or behind cupboards may indicate mice, even if no droppings are found. Remedies to vermin can include use of poison. If you believe mites, or any pest, may be present, request that your Seascale surveyor pay close attention during the survey.
