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 St PancrasSt Pancras is in the London Borough of Camden but it has largely been merged into King’s Cross. It is just to the north of the Euston Road and east of Euston.
In ancient times, St Pancras was a large area that incorporated a number of churches and cemeteries. However, over the years, other areas such as Euston and King’s Cross have expanded and, as such, St Pancras is very rarely used to define a specific area. Nowadays St Pancras refers mainly to the new train terminal and the area immediately surrounding it. This whole area of London has undergone a significant amount of gentrification and its proximity to central London makes it a popular choice with house hunters. Property tends to be apartments, which are either new build or in Victorian mansion blocks.
St Pancras is one of the best-served transport areas in London. The underground at King’s Cross is in zone 1 and covers virtually all tube lines in and around the centre of the city. The mainline station operates commuter services to the north of London.
