Top tips for a Harrogate Home Buyers Survey
Harrogate is a highly-regarded spa town in North Yorkshire, in Yorkshire's West Riding. It grew out of two smaller settlements, in the 17th century. Its spa water was discovered in the 16th century, which led to its increasing popularity in the Georgian era, when it developed considerably. Grove House, formerly the World's End Inn, originated as an inn which catered for visitors to the spa town and dates back at least as far as 1728.
The southern end of central Harrogate consists largely of detached houses that have been converted to offices, although Harrogate Magistrates' Court and Harrogate Central Library can be found on Victoria Avenue.
Harrogate has many parts, some of them are: The Duchy estate, an affluent area close to central Harrogate where most houses are large detached homes or large detached homes converted into flats; High Harrogate, an inner section to the east of the town centre, focused on Westmoreland Street and the A59 Skipton Road, which has many terraced houses; Harlow Hill, which has a number of new developments; New Park, which has many terraced houses and Hornbeam Park, a very recently-developed area.
New build developments include the large detached and semi-detached houses in Sussex Avenue and Connaught Court; the town houses in Bartle Mews and the apartments off Waterloo Street.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, incredibly important when you are considering buying a home in Harrogate.

Can you attend the Survey with the surveyor?
Most surveyors do not allow the client on site whilst carrying out their inspection. They have a long list of defects that they need to check for and they cannot be distracted from the job in hand as they can be held to account for any missed defects.
The surveyors' professional indemnity insurance does not cover for bringing any third party on site with them while they are completing their inspection, therefore, in the event of any damage being sited by a vendor while the survey is taking place, the surveyor would be liable and uninsured.
On the day of the survey if you have any concerns you can make the surveyor aware of this so they can pay special attention to these areas during their inspection.
Does your property look like this?
Georgian properties should only have a Level 3: Building Survey (formally called the full structural survey) completed by a competent RICS surveyor as the age of the property will command a more in-depth assessment of the property's build and structure. It is often common to have extensions to the property that need the keen eye of the surveyor to inspect the build quality. A HomeBuyer Report is not suited as it is only advisable to be used on flats bungalows and standard construction properties.
