Top tips for a Nottingham Home Buyers Survey
Nottingham is a city in the East Midlands which predates Anglo-Saxon times. Nottingham Castle was originally constructed in 1068.
The area around Oxford and Regent Street has a number of Georgian buildings and St Barnabas' RC Church is a Gothic revival building built by Pugin. Some parts of its eastern centre were rebuilt in the 1970s and the Lace Market area south of Hockley has many 4 to 7-storey red brick warehouses from the Victorian period, many of which have been converted into apartments.
Nottingham has several large council and private estates built mainly between the 1920s and 1950s, including the St Ann's, Broxtowe, Strelley, Bilborough, Apsley and Clifton.
More council homes – nearly 15,000 – were built in Nottingham in the 1970s than in any other decade: old people's complexes, low-rise flats, semi-detached and terrace houses. Many of the houses have been bought independently under the Right to Buy scheme.
There are many new build developments such as in Cotgrove and Edwalton, with Help to Buy often available.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey, 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. It is highly recommended that you get one, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are thinking of buying a property in Nottingham.

What’s the difference between a HomeBuyer Report and a Building Survey?
When it comes to property surveys for home buyers there are two main choices.
The first is the RICS HomeBuyer Report; this survey is specifically designed for post-1950s flats/bungalows/maisonettes or houses of standard construction. The report uses a 'traffic light' format to indicate the opinion of the surveyor on the various aspects of the building under consideration. The HomeBuyer Report includes a current market valuation as standard which can be used to compare with your property's agreed asking price.
The second option is the RICS Building Survey; this survey is reserved for older and larger properties that may have had the original fabric of the property altered or have unique features (i.e. a thatched roof). It is the most detailed visual inspection that can be carried out.
While it doesn’t include the property valuation that comes as standard with a HomeBuyer Report, many surveyors will often include in it an estimate of the cost of works for maintenance or upgrades to help with repairs or renovation to the property.
HomeBuyers Report in Nottingham
A HomeBuyers Report is general visual inspection for flats, new properties or bungalows of standard construction. Most leasehold flats in Nottingham should have a HomeBuyers Report, however the only exception are converted properties which may need a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Nottingham
Most freehold houses in Nottingham that are over 50 years old, that have been refurbished/developed or are unusual in style should get a Building Survey. A Building Survey used to be called the Full Structural Survey and is the most comprehensive visual inspection a surveyor can provide. Choosing a HomeBuyers Report when you should have a Building survey can be costly if key defects don't get reported in the detail you require.
If you are unsure which survey to choose you can call our surveyors and they'll help you choose - Call 0333 344 3234.
