Top tips for a Fleet Home Buyers Survey
Fleet is an affluent town in north Hampshire and is a commuter town for many London workers. It developed largely when the railway arrived in 1840, the same year that the Christ Church parish church was built.
There are few very old buildings in Fleet and most of the town has formed around some Victorian buildings such as All Saint's Church, built c. 1862. Much building occurred between the 1st and 2nd World Wars, with many semi-detached and terrace houses being built.
Building picked up again in the 1960s and then from the mid-1970s onwards, new areas such as Ancells Farm and Zebon Copse were built. Elvetham Heath was completed in 2008 and has added around 3,500 to Fleet's population.

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; damp, subsidence, infestations, cracks and damage.
The goal of the Home Buyers Survey, whether the Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or the HomeBuyers Report, is to provide reassurance when buying a home and this is the case if you are considering buying a property in Fleet.

When should you order a survey?
The right time to book a survey is specific to each client’s situation. Generally speaking, it is recommended to book your survey for around a week after your mortgage valuation takes place. This way, if your lender is happy to proceed you are then on track and don’t have the stress of searching for a surveyor to attend your property at the last minute. Inversely, if your mortgage lender comes back and declines your application after the valuation, you then have breathing space to cancel the survey without fear of incurring cancellation charges.
If it is the case that you have concerns in regards to the condition of the property (be it subsidence or damp etc.) and feel that it will impact on what you are prepared to offer or whether you are even willing to proceed with the purchase, you may decide to book it in before your mortgage valuation in order to minimise costs in an already expensive process.
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.
