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 Manor HouseThe area known locally as Manor House is centred around the tube station of the same name at the junction of Green Lanes and Seven Sisters Road. To the east of the station, either side of Lordship Lane, are 2 large reservoirs. The West Reservoir has been decommissioned and now hosts a water sports centre. It has also become the home of all year round wildlife including winter water birds and summer damselflies.
For an even more adventurous day out The Climbing Castle, adjacent to the west reservoir, is considered the premier indoor climbing centre in South East England. The centre is located within a striking Victorian building; formally the pumping station for the aforementioned reservoir. Manor House tube station is situated to the east of Finsbury Park and between zones 2 and 3 of the Piccadilly Line. Trains run directly to Leicester Square in about 15 minutes.
