What type of property survey should you have?
If you are taking out a mortgage the lender will insist upon carrying out a valuation inspection. Although you will bear the cost of this it is just a valuation for the lender's purposes and not a survey. The two most common types of property survey are an RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation, often referred to as a Homebuyer's Report and a Building Survey. The Homebuyer's Report will be suitable in most cases. The exceptions are properties that are more than 150 years old, that have been substantially altered or that have known structural problems. If any of these exceptions apply a Building Survey, previously known as a Full Structural survey, will be more appropriate.

Information on Hampstead Garden SuburbHampstead Garden Suburb is in the London Borough of Barnet and bridges the postcodes NW11 and N2. There is a fairly clear dividing line in the area between the original housing, constructed around 1907 and the N2 side of the Suburb which began to expand later in the twentieth century and is primarily made up of purpose built blocks of flats.
The original housing in the suburb is now within a conservation area and is run by a trust that imposes strict regulations on the appearance of the properties. The Central Square in the Suburb was laid out by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. It contains two large churches, St. Jude's Church and The Free Church, and a Quaker Meeting House. East Finchley Underground Station on zone 3 of the Northern Line is situated to the east of The Suburb.
