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 Whitehall ParkWhitehall Park is a conservation area to the north of London between Archway and Highgate where the roads are mercifully free of traffic despite being dangerously close to one of the most congested roundabouts in London at Archway.
The area has a wealth of period properties from the 1920s semis of Fitzwarren Gardens (those on the outer circle enjoy fantastic views over London) to the elaborate late Victorian houses in Whitehall Park and Gladsmuir Road. To the south-east of the area are a group of roads which are named after characters from the plays of Shakespeare; Cressida, Parolles Lysander, Parolles and Prospero and are known locally as the Shakespeares. There are a few local shops along Cressida Road but for the weekly shop you will probably need to travel to nearby Holloway Raod. The nearest tube station is located just to the south of Whitehall Park in Archway from where you can board a Northern Line (zone 3) train to central London. Journey time is approximately twenty minutes.
