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 NeasdenNeasden is a multi-cultural area in the London Borough of Brent, bordering Cricklewood, Brent Cross and Wembley. One of the area’s most eye-catching sights is the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, the largest Hindu temple outside of India, but Neasden was also the site for the first drive-through McDonald’s in 1988 and the first UK IKEA store, opened in the 1990s.
The North Circular Road is a dominant feature of the area and has been blamed for a decline in Neasden as a shopping centre, although 2004 saw a concerted effort to reverse this decline with a redevelopment of the shopping centre area. Terraces and semis dominate the inside corner of the North Circular but there are many flats too, particularly from the eighties.
Neasden Station is on the Jubilee Line and is in zone 3. It’s a 15-20 minute tube ride into Central London.
