Top tips for a Newark Home Buyers Survey
Newark, or Newark-on-Trent, is a market town in Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands region of England and it harks back to Roman times as it developed along Fosse Way, an important Roman road. The ruins of Newark Castle date back to Saxon times and the Newark Town Hall was completed in 1776 and is a listed building. There are many surviving Georgian properties in the town.
During the Victorian era a lot of new residential buildings were constructed. Newark's population more than doubled from 7.000 to 15,000 from 1800 to 1900.
Much housing was built in the 20th century, both private and municipal, particularly in the interwar period and post-war, and this has continued up to recent times.
New affordable council houses, both homes and apartments, were completed in 2011 in Norwood Gardens/Town Mill Close in Southwell and also in Clipstone, Bleasby, Boughton and Balderton.
New build developments include semi-detached houses in Snowdrop Avenue and terraces in Clover Gardens and Sleaford Road.

What happens if your surveyor is does not inspect an area of the property?
There can be a number of reasons a surveyor might not inspect an area during their survey of a property.
Most commonly it is down to access (or lack thereof) to a certain part of the property (i.e. roof/garage) where a vendor may have forgotten to leave the key used to gain entry to the area in question. Additionally if your surveyor is physically unable to gain access to an area because, for example, there are objects in the way, they will equally be unable to inspect it in the normal way and report back on it.
Your surveyor may agree to return to a property to cover the areas that were missed in the original survey, assuming that steps have been taken to enable them to access the areas in question easily and once a date/time to return has been agreed with the vendor.
