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 KingsburyKingsbury is a residential suburb in the London Borough of Brent bordering Burnt Oak, Hendon and Harrow.
Kingsbury, literally meaning ‘The King’s Manor’ is relatively new, having only been fully developed after the First World War, a fact illustrated by the almost 800% rise in its population in the decade following 1921. Up until the late seventies there were a number of carmakers, including Bentley and British Leyland, based in the area, on the site now known as Kingsbury Trading Estate. The area has a high Asian population, which is reflected in the diverse, multi-cultural local character.
Kingsbury tube station, in zone 4, is on the A406 (Kingsbury Road) and serves the Jubilee Line. There are also many buses travelling through, with travel to many local areas, such as Edgware and Harrow.
