Top tips for a Cranleigh Home Buyers Survey
Cranleigh is a large village in Surrey, a little southeast of Guildford. Its Anglican parish church of St Nicolas was first built around 1170. Some housing development and population growth occurred as a result of the opening of the Wey and Arun Canal in 1816 and the railways arriving in 1865 (although Beeching's Axe saw the closure of Cranleigh Station in 1965.
Alongside 20th century properties from many eras, there are many surviving Victorian dwellings in the village in roads such as New Park Road, Mead Road, Mount Road, Bridge Road and Avenue Road. There are almost twice as many detached houses and semi-detached houses in the area.
New build developments include the detached houses in The Common and the retirement flats in Essex Drive, Elmbridge Village.

Surrey is located in the south east of England and is well known for its high property prices and leafy areas. Guildford is the county town, however Surrey County Council can be found just up the A3 in the neighbouring town Kingston Upon Thames. It was in Dorking in Surrey at the White Horse where Charles Dickens wrote much of his Pickwick Papers and apparently based many of the characters on local peopleThe University of Surrey can be found in Guildford, however Surrey also hosts the Royal Holloway University of London (Egham), University of Law & Kingston University.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey in Cranleigh, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, inspects both the inside and the outside of your property and searches in particular for subsidence, damp, infestations and any cracks or other damage to the property. The procedure is non-intrusive.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
Many mistakenly think that a mortgage valuation is the same as a HomeBuyers Survey and the consequence is that home buyers can subsequently have to shell out money for repairing faults and defects that could well have been part of the bargaining process with the seller on purchase. The surveyor appointed by the lender conducts a mortgage valuation to estimate the value of the property: this survey is not concerned with detailing structural defects.
A HomeBuyers Survey lists and reports on defects and includes a full appraisal and valuation of the property you are thinking of buying in Cranleigh which is completely independent of the mortgage lender. This knowledge can be used to get quotes for the cost of fixing defects and, most importantly, gives you evidence which can be used to bargain with the seller about sharing any such cost. To get yours, call 01483 802 485.
Does your property look like this?
A purpose built block of flats similar to this will always require a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report and not a Building Survey because there will not be the requirement for the additional detail you get within the Building Survey as the property is too young and built using more modern building techniques.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
