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.

Clissold Park is located to the west of Stoke Newington. The 54 acre park has all the facilities that you would expect to find in a popular local park such as a well equipped playground and a popular cafe (located in the park’s Mansion House) but children may be more excited by the animal enclosure, which houses deer rabbits and chickens, the aviary and the butterfly tunnel. Stoke Newington National Rail Station connects with Liverpool Street via the “One” line. The closest tube is Manor House to the north-west from where Piccadilly Line trains run in to the West End in around fifteen minutes.
