Top tips for a Burnham Home Buyers Survey
Burnham is a village in Buckinghamshire which has a contemplative order of Church of England Augustinian nuns which is based in the restored remains of an original 1265 Benedictine Abbey, and a parish church – St Peter (Anglican) – which dates in part back to the 12th century.
The village grew a little when the railway arrived in 1899 and has a mix of period, 20th century and modern properties. You can find large detached homes in Green Lane, Grove Road and Hitcham Road; some of these are Victorian, others are modern rebuilds sometimes in period style.
You can find 1920s-1950s semi-detached properties in Haymill Road and Chiltern Road.
New build developments include new flat developments in nearby Farnham Royal, among others.

Buckinghamshire is a county which touches the western edges of the Greater London Area and is mainly rural in aspect. Many of the towns and villages on the eastern edges of the county serve as commuter dormitories for London workers, such as Amersham, Chesham and the Chalfonts. The section of the Chiltern Line, which links Aylesbury with London Marylebone via Amersham, has streamlined this daily journey for many workers in the City of London. Buckinghamshire's county town is Buckingham, but there are a number of larger settlements such as High Wycombe and Aylesbury. There is considerable affluence in many parts of the county, such as around Fulmer, Gerrards Cross, Farnham Common and Stoke Poges. Denham Golf Club, which has its own station on the Chiltern Line, is the haunt of many celebrities who have dwellings in the area. The county is the site of the first modern private university to receive a charter, the University of Buckingham. Buckinghamshire has number of areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as Burnham Beeches and the Chilterns (including the Chess Valley).

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey non-intrusively inspects both the external and internal structure of a property for matters which include these, among others; damp, subsidence, infestations, cracks and damage.
Whichever you opt for out of a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, they are both excellent for peace of mind if you are considering buying a property in Burnham.
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 Burnham 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.

How do I arrange access?
On instruction, we take a few key details from you, one of which being the details of the estate agent managing the property. We then organise access with the estate agent and determine whether they hold keys to the property or if the property is accessed via the owner (vendor). We then let the estate agent know the surveyor's intended arrival time and finalise the survey date.
In the event that the property is accessed through the vendor, gaining access can be tricky. Often the vendor will have to find time away from work/private life in order to accommodate the survey which can lead to having to revise the date of survey. Often in worst case scenarios (i.e. the vendor being on holiday), the vendor can leave their keys with the estate agents or a neighbour who are then the port of call to arrange access.
Does your property look like this?
If you have a crack similar to this in the property then you should be looking to instruct a Structural Engineer, instead of a RICS surveyor. The reason being is that your property could have subsidence and although a RICS surveyor can confirm if they have a suspicion, they cannot confirm definitively if there is subsidence. If the crack in the wall is more than 3mm (a 50p could fit in it), it is advisable to get a structural engineer in straight away over a RICS surveyor.
