Home Buyer Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey in Milford, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, 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.

Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Milford
Milford is a large, affluent village in Surrey with a railway station, has many detached houses, some dating back to the Georgian period. It is home to the fantastic Milford House, built in the first half of the 18th century.
There are semi-detached houses from all periods of the 20th century there and some more modern properties, such as the terraces in Reris Grange Close and the modern purpose-built flats of Butlers Place and Manor Green (Lower Manor Road).
Properties built in close proximity to the River Wey and its tributaries and channels around Milford are sometimes subject to flood alerts and flood warnings are sometimes issued for properties around Eashing to its north for example in the Hollow and Lower Eashing.
If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details).
Your RICS surveyor inspects drains during a survey, where the drain cover is accessible and on the site of the property.
If the drains are reported to be blocked you may need to employ a drainage company to inspect the drains with CCTV such as TapCo, 12 Thorkhill Road, Thames Ditton, SURREY, KT7 0UE.
Raised levels of noise pollution from railways in the Milford area mainly centre around where the railway crosses Station Lane, where Milford Station is located.
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 peopleThe University of Surrey can be found in Guildford, however Surrey also hosts the Royal Holloway University of London (Egham), University of Law & Kingston University.

How long does the survey take?
The time necessary to carry out a survey is relative to each property. Naturally a 6 bed, old Victorian property will take longer to survey than a newly built 1 bed flat as there’s more ground to cover and more defects to look out for. A conservative estimate of around 2 hours can be used as a rough guideline, however the surveyor will spend as much time in the property as necessary in order to make sure all present defects are commented on.
The building surveyor must spend an appropriate amount of time at the property so that they can provide the complete scope of work set out by the RICS for the HomeBuyer Report and the Building Survey.
HomeBuyers Report in Milford
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 Milford excepting Victorian conversions which may require a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Milford
Many houses in Milford 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.
