Top tips for a Liphook Home Buyers Survey
Liphook is a large village in East Hampshire. Its Old Toll House dates from the 18th century and the railway arrived in 1859, although the railway did not cause a great expansion of the locale.
During both World Wars, the village was a base for Canadian troops and this has left its mark in many more recent roads built having Canadian place names.
There are many detached properties in and around Liphook and built in various eras, from the late Victorian and throughout the 20th century. You can find 1920s detached properties in Haslemere Road and very modern detached properties in Hazeldene road. New developments can be found, including the block apartments in Portsmouth Road (low-rise), some of which have been sold as shared ownership.

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 Liphook.

FREE Online Conveyancing Process for Buyers
Includes online checklists, videos, downloads and tips - plus it is completely free to use from start to finish and saves your progress along the way.
Why do I need a survey?
The conveyancing process operates on the principle of ‘caveat emptor’ which means ‘let the buyer beware’ and it can be broken down in the following way.
Your solicitors make sure the property is legally okay to buy, the mortgage lender makes sure the property is financially okay to buy and the surveyor you hire to carry out a homebuyer report/building survey makes sure the property is structurally okay to buy.
In light of this, the purpose of the survey is to make sure you are aware of any defects present in the property when you buy it. If defects are found, then the survey gives you the opportunity to bargain with the seller, whether it be a reduction in price or an agreement that the seller makes good on the work necessary before purchase.
