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 BayswaterBayswater lies just to the North of Hyde Park, in the City of Westminster, with the Edgware Road bordering the area to the East.
Bayswater is more of a residential area than some of its close neighbours and it is home to a large cultural mix of residents. There is a good stock of Georgian housing and many of these buildings are now hotels and boarding houses. There are also more modern blocks of flats and this helps to create the dense population in the area. Although not one of West London’s most affluent areas, the central location is extremely close to many of the city’s great attractions and parks.
Bayswater tube station is on the District and Circle lines. The area is also served by Lancaster Gate (Central Line) and Queensway (Central Line). Paddington mainline station is also close by and this provides links to the west of England.
