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 Alexandra ParkAlexandra Park is a residential suburb in the London Borough of Haringey. The area is dominated by Alexandra Palace, a vast Victorian Structure sitting on top of a hill and set within 196 acres of glorious parkland. Known affectionately as “Ally Pally” current facilities include a boating lake, ice rink and bar.
The palace and park are now owned by a trust which is required to maintain them and make them available for the free use and recreation of the public forever. There is a wealth of period property in the area from small Victorian cottages to large Edwardian family homes; all considerably more affordable then neighbouring Crouch End and Muswell Hill. Alexandra Park has its own National Rail Station located on Station Road. It is part of the First Capital Connect Line (zone 3) running in to Moorgate (or Kings Cross at week-ends). The closest tube station is in Wood Green (Piccadilly Line).
