A Home Buyer Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey, 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. It is highly recommended that you get one, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are thinking of buying a property in Ewell.
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 shows up any such problems in your property in Ewell, our appointed surveyor will explain to you what you should do to get more in-depth information about the type and scope of the matter and what is required to fix it.
If you are worried about any defects that you think your property has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might grow to many thousands of pounds as time progresses.

Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Ewell
Ewell is on the line which separates the chalk of the North Downs and London Clay. The rural area developed somewhat after 1847 when the railway arrived but larger influxes of people only occurred in the 20th century.
Most of the housing consists of 1930s and 1940s semi-detached houses but there are some surviving properties from the Edwardian, Victorian and earlier periods. There are a number of listed buildings, particularly from the Victorian period, including the St Mary the Virgin parish church, consecrated in 1848.
There are also many modern houses and flats and the locale is set to have various new developments, such as the Nescot College site, Ethel Bailey Gardens and Hollmoor Lane. All three of these will offer some affordable housing and properties which can bought under shared ownership.

Rainwater pipes and gutters are reviewed within section E3 of the HomeBuyer Report.

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. HG Wells, writer of War of the Worlds, lived at Horsell Common in Woking in Surrey when he wrote the book and this is where, in the book, the Martians first land on Earth.

Does the surveyor use Drones to assess the property?
The use of more advanced digital technology within assessing properties is on the rise but don’t always exceed the results obtained from more industry standard equipment or save any time.
RICS surveyors have a selection of measuring equipment, recording devices and equipment for assessing remote and concealed areas such as standard lifting equipment for inspection chamber covers, meter cupboard keys, hand mirrors, a ladder that gives safe access to spaces that are three metres above floor level, and binoculars or telescopes for parts of the property at high level which can be utilized to efficiently certify efects.
Level 2: HomeBuyer Report with a Valuation
A HomeBuyer Report is a good general inspection for new properties, flats, bungalows and other properties of standard construction. The majority of Ewell's leasehold flats require only a HomeBuyers Report but for any Victorian conversions, a Building Survey may well be required.
Level 3: Building Survey
In the main, houses in Ewell which are over 50 years old, have been developed or have an unusual style justify booking a Building Survey as this is the most comprehensive visual inspection a RICS surveyor can provide.
