Top tips for a Bradford Home Buyers Survey
Bradford is a city in West Yorkshire and has a rich history, particularly in connection with textile manufacture in the 19th century during the latter phase of the Industrial Revolution.
Bradford Cathedral has a long history; it has been rebuilt or repaired various times over the period 1400 – 1965 but it has been a site for Christian worship since the 8th century.
During the period 1820 – 1850, waves of various immigrants increased the city's population, particularly in the Broomfields and Manningham areas. Latterly, the wards of Bradford Moor, City, Little Horton, Manningham and Toller have seen much Asian immigration which has been a spur to house building.
The city has some excellent period survivals in terms of its buildings, particularly from the Victorian period, although developers in the 1960s and 1970s destroyed much older housing stock. Much private and municipal housing was built in the 20th century and construction has occurred steadily up to recent times.
New build developments in Bradford include the terraced houses in Baildon (Berry Close, Berry Drive) and the detached houses in Cross Lane, Birkenshaw. Help to Buy has frequently been used by people to buy new builds in the area.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Bradford and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.

What is the difference between the Building Survey and the HomeBuyers Report?
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is a standard traffic light format, and is different to a Building Survey in many ways. The HomeBuyers report is suitable for standard construction properties post 1950 such as bungalows and flats.
The Level 3: Building Survey is essential for larger or older properties that have had any extensions or alterations from their original build, or if you’re planning major works. The Building Survey comes in a more detailed report and included photos and explanations.
HomeBuyers Report in Bradford
A HomeBuyers Report is general visual inspection for flats, new properties or bungalows of standard construction. Most leasehold flats in Bradford should have a HomeBuyers Report, however the only exception are converted properties which may need a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Bradford
Most freehold houses in Bradford 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.
