About UsHome Buyers Survey in Wednesbury

Should we get a Full Structural Survey, Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report for a home in Wednesbury and which one would be the cheapest?
The Full Structural Survey has been renamed by RICS as a Building Survey and is effectively the same.
If the Wednesbury property is a flat or maisonette, or is an older property, or has been extended or modified, or is built of unusual materials, you should go for a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to do any an extension, it would be better that you commission a Building Survey instead. This more detailed survey is not as cheap but it will give you a more detailed analysis of the Wednesbury property's general condition and it includes advice on structural defects as well as maintenance options .

Will a qualified surveyor check the condition or the safety of the gas supply?
Yes. The chartered surveyor will locate and visually check out the accessible parts of the system.

Will our Wednesbury RICS surveyor investigate flood damage?
The lives of many homeowners in Wednesbury and across the UK have been disrupted by flooding, and property buyers cannot know that insurance against flooding will continue to be available. It is easily possible to assess whether a house is susceptible to flooding via any of a number of routes. Flood water can enter a residence through several routes, including landscaping or paved areas sloping towards the property. The Home Buyers Survey will also include details of any evidence of historical flooding, and may comment generally about the area's propensity to flood, the data used to compile third-party flood assessments also takes into account flood defences and historic claims.

What kind of problems will the Property Surveyor examine on a smooth stucco coated regency home in Wednesbury.
Stucco is in fact a form of render. Typically stucco render is layered over brick hardens to form a smooth stone like appearance. The effect is very grand in appearance and is often found on Victorian and Regency houses. it can be problematic and Surveyors in Wednesbury commonly detail defects e.g. trapped water leading to the surface falling away. Other issues might involve sulphate attack from sulphates or salts sucked out of brickwork. Remedying problems with stucco can be expensive as skilled tradesmen are becoming harder to find.
