About UsHome Buyers Survey in Winkleigh
Is it best to get a HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey or Full Structural Survey on a property in Winkleigh and which one is cheaper?
The Full Structural Survey is now called a Building Survey and is basically the same the same comprehensive survey.
If the Winkleigh property is a flat or maisonette, or is 100 or more years old, or has been extended, or is built of unusual materials (e.g. timber frame), RICS advise a cheaper HomeBuyer Report.
If you are thinking about whether to do any major works, it would be better that you choose a Building Survey instead. The Building Survey is less cheap however it will provide you with a thorough analysis of the Winkleigh property's state of repair along with advice on defects and maintenance options .

What is subsidence? What subsidence issues does the Chartered Surveyor report on?
Movement of a structure on a structural level is called subsidence. Additionally, most homes in Winkleigh are erected with a variety of materials, each of which will contract at a varying rates.
Subsidence can be caused by a range of factors. One such issue is that soil on ground which slopes downward is not as stable as that sitting on horizontal ground. In very wet or flooded conditions, the soil layer may become unstable and start to slip downhill. Organic material in the sub-soil can also create issues. Organic material such as peat is usually stable if kept moist by the water level, but if the soil dries out, this organic matter will decompose. The weight of the foundations will then compress the sub soil.
Restoration work cannot begin until the original source of the movement is found. Any further movement, or risk of movement, must be halted. Your surveyor may suggest that you talk to an arborist to find out the best cause of action if trees or other plant life is the suspected cause.
