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 Clapham CommonClapham Common is an exclusive area of south-west London, in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is centred around the park itself with other nearby areas including Streatham and Brixton.
Clapham Common is one of London’s most well-known parks and houses that border the large green space are highly sought after and justifiably expensive. Prices decrease as you travel further away from the common but the uninterrupted views of the leafy area attract well-heeled city workers looking for a tranquil home still in the heart of London and within an easy commute to work.
Clapham offers something for everyone with its abundance of green space and ample shopping facilities. There are butchers, delicatessens and an endless number of cafes and bars to choose from.
Clapham Common is served by two underground stations – Clapham Common to the north end of the park and Clapham South to the south. They are both in zone 2 and are on the Northern line.
