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 RICS Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, incredibly important when you are considering buying a home in Bradford.
NB If you're a first time buyer, you might wish to click on What is a House Survey to find out more, including what happens during the inspection.

If the Home Buyers Survey flags up any of these defects then our surveyor explains what you need to do to get further advice on how to investigate them and get It resolved.
If you are concerned about your property in Bradford has subsidence, or any other defects then you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey as the costs for repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds. If you can identify the defect before you purchase then you can get quotes for fixing it and either share the costs with the seller, or, in worst case examples, choose not to proceed.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
People have been known to confuse a mortgage valuation with a HomeBuyers Survey. This confusion can prove costly and end up in a home buyer having to fork out for expensive repair costs which should have been shared with the vendor with this reflected in a reduction in the original sale price. Your lender conducts its own mortgage valuation to calculate the value of the property you are looking at buying in Bradford and this is in no sense a report on structural defects.
A HomeBuyers Survey notes defects as well as including a full valuation of a property independently of the mortgage lender or anyone else. The information in it can be used to get quotes for the cost of fixing any issues and presents evidence for bargaining with the seller about sharing repair costs, if appropriate. Call 0333 344 3234 to get the best HomeBuyers Survey for your property in Bradford.
Does your property look like this?
The Level 2: HomeBuyer Report is perfectly suited for standard construction properties that have not had any material changes, run down or extensions to them. Many clients prefer to get a Level 3: Building Survey as they don't want to miss any defects, however it is important to note that both surveys inspect the same areas of the property and it is unlikely that any additional content will appear in the report of a Building Survey compared to a HomeBuyer Report.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
