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 Maida HillMaida Hill runs to the South West of central Maida Vale and to the West of Little Venice. It is in the London Borough of Westminster.
The area is traversed by the A40, the tube line and the canal, which makes it accessible by boat, train or car. It is an affluent area, packed full of desirable mansion blocks and large, waterfront residences. Nestled up next to its famous neighbour, Notting Hill, it has plenty of amenities close by and the canal gives it a picturesque appeal. Houseboats straddle the sides of the canal and give the area a laid-back feel that seems distant from the Central London buzz whilst remaining remarkably close geographically.
Maida Hill is served by Westbourne Park tube station, which is in Zone 2 on the Hammersmith and City line. A typical journey to Charing Cross will take approximately 25 minutes.
