King's Lynn is a seaport and market town in Norfolk amd dates bacl at least as far as Norman times, when it was a modest village. Its St George's Guidhall was built in 1406 and the Hanseatic Warehouse was built in 1475.
Housing is highly mixed in the area, with some period survivals such as the Victorian terraces in Tennyson Avenue and St John's Terrace, and plenty of housing stock built in the 20th century, particularly in the interwar period, such as the semi-detached and terrace houses in Bishop's Road and Park Avenue. More modern terrace3s can be found in Chapel Street. The estates of Woottons and Gaywood were built in the 1960s.
New build developments include the maisonettes in Wisbech Road and the semi-detached and terrace houses in Nar Valley Park, 25 Minnow Avenue.

The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive and is highly recommended if you are looking at buying a property in King's Lynn.

How long does a RICS Building Survey take?
RICS Surveyors often only have one or two inspections a day to ensure they allocate adequate time to assess a property for its defects and issues.
On average our surveyors will spend two to three hours on a standard sized home to complete the full Level 3 RICS Building Survey, however, this can vary for a number of reasons.
It may be that there has been major works done to the property or a major defect is discovered and requires further investigation or access to all areas of the property is not immediately available. This is why our surveyors do not operate with time constraints – they stay on site as long as they need to complete the full inspection.
Does your property look like this?
Converted Victorian flats can be confusing for buyers trying to choose which survey is best. Most RICS surveyors prefer to complete Level 3: Building Survey due to the age of the property, however some other surveyors will complete a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report. The best advice is to get the surveyor to inspect the property and check the condition and then guide you on what survey best suits a Victorian Conversion.
