Top tips for a Altrincham Home Buyers Survey
Altrincham has many listed buildings; these give testament to the diversity of construction in the last few hundred years but also the build quality. One such building from the Georgian period is the Dunham Massey Hall (which has a deer park) which is Grade I listed. The Victorian Stamford Park, opened to the public in 1880, is listed as Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.
Numerous houses were built by various developers in the earlier part of the 20th century, most of which are relatively standard construction detached, semi-detached and terraced dwellings, such as can be found in Ashley Road, Bowdon and Bollin Drive, Timperley.
Altrincham was bombed heavily by the Luftwaffe during the second world war, however, as with much of the UK, the post-war economic boom ushered large numbers of house construction projects and in the 1960s, the town centre was rebuilt.
There are many modern developments also, such as the detached houses in Hartley Road.

What’s the difference between the HomeBuyer Report and a Building Survey?
The HomeBuyer Report is a survey carried out on smaller properties of a simpler design such as purpose built flats, bungalows, maisonettes and post-1950s houses of standard construction. The HomeBuyer Report comes in a standard format and can give a great general view regarding a property's construction and condition.
In contrast, Building Surveys are bespoke and better suited to larger and/or older properties where the original construction material may have degraded and requires further commenting on outside of the scope of a HomeBuyer Report.
HomeBuyers Report in Altrincham
A HomeBuyers Report is a good general inspection for flats, new properties, bungalows of standard construction. Most leasehold flats in Altrincham should have a HomeBuyers Report, however the only exception are Victorian conversions which may need a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Altrincham
Most freehold houses in Altrincham that are over 50 years old, that have been refurbished/developed or are unusual in style should get a Building Survey. A Building Survey used to be called the Full Structural Survey and is the most comprehensive visual inspection a surveyor can provide. Choosing a HomeBuyers Report when you should have a Building survey can be costly if key defects don't get reported in the detail you require.
