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 Frimley.
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 they find any issues during the inspection of your property in Frimley, our surveyor will flag them up in the Home Buyers Survey and give you advice on what you should do to solve them. An example of this is where the surveyor finds evidence of woodworm infestation.
If you are concerned about any other defects with the property you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey as the costs of repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds.

Frimley has a pleasant mix of properties, most of them built in the 20th century, although the church of St Peter was built in 1826.
You can find bungalows, such as can be found in Longmeadow and Windsor Way, and semi-detached housing there and many new build purpose-built flat developments.
Some of the newer developments offer shared ownership terms, such as those in Acorn Avenue.
Noise pollution from road traffic in Frimley is at its highest in the vicinity of where the M3 intersects with the A331, affecting streets like Alsace Walk and Wood Road.
Solar panels are a becoming a common feature with properties in Frimley. A RICS surveyor cannot provide advise or test solar panels.
In a Building Survey on Regent Way, Frimley, Hants, GU16 8NT, it was noted the presence of solar panels and the client was advised to get their solicitor to confirm the ownership of these as they are often leased from a thrid party company.
The drains of a property should be inspected to confirm they flow to a main line sewer or a cesspitt.
In most cases, the drains will be connected to the mains drainage and there should be an access chamber visible on the site.
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 people
The 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.

It is important to get a surveyor to attend the property who is local to your area.
A local surveyor will have extensive local knowledge of the area and will know if there are any issues that occur on properties locally. A local surveyor will also be aware of the market conditions in the area and it is more than likely that they have surveyed properties of a similar condition before.
It is also more efficient to work with a surveyor who is local to Frimley or who is used to completing surveys in Surrey as driving for several hours to complete a survey can delay the report turnaround.
HomeBuyers Report in Frimley
The HomeBuyers Report is a reasonable 'broad-brush' structural inspection most suited to flats, new properties and bungalows of standard construction. A HomeBuyers Report would suit most leasehold flats in Frimley excepting Victorian conversions which may require a Building Survey.
Many houses in Frimley are over 50 years old, have been converted or have an unusual style: a Building Survey is best suited to these. It is the highest level of visual inspection that a RICS Surveyor can produce.
