What’s the difference between the HomeBuyer Report and a Building Survey?
The HomeBuyer Report is a survey carried out on smaller properties of a simpler design such as purpose built flats, bungalows, maisonettes and post-1950s houses of standard construction. The HomeBuyer Report comes in a standard format and can give a great general view regarding a property's construction and condition.
In contrast, Building Surveys are bespoke and better suited to larger and/or older properties where the original construction material may have degraded and requires further commenting on outside of the scope of a HomeBuyer Report.
HomeBuyers Report in Redhill
A HomeBuyers Report serves as a great general inspection for flats, new properties and bungalows of standard construction. Most leasehold flats in Redhill should have a HomeBuyers Report, however the only exception are Victorian conversions which may need a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Redhill
Most freehold houses in Redhill 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 01737 652 156.
