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 Muswell HillMuswell Hill is a residential suburb in the London Borough of Haringey. Set on a hilltop the area offers stunning views across North London. The area has a reputation as a middle class enclave consisting as it does of mainly larger style period properties on tree lined roads, however it does offer a more affordable alternative to the seriously rich neighbouring areas of Hampstead and Highgate.
There are a good selection of shops on Muswell Hill and The Broadway although bars and restaurants seem to dominate with antique and craft shops bringing up the rear. At the other end of the retail scale there is a weekly farmers' market at the foot of Muswell Hill in Alexandra Park selling fresh organic produce. Muswell Hill does not have its own underground station. East Finchley Station on zone 3 of the Northern Line is approximately a mile away.
