Home Buyer Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey in Redruth, 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.

If you are worried about any defects that you think your property in Redruth has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might grow to many thousands of pounds as time progresses.

Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Redruth
Redruth is a town which consists of properties including semi-detached houses which were built in the Victorian period as well as more modern dwellings including detached houses and apartments.
You can find a variety of 1930s semi-detached Victorian townhouses along Albany Road.
Within the local area there are also larger detached houses and apartments that can be found in Scorrier Road.
Some new build bungalows can be found in Trebarva Close.
Some properties in the Redruth area may be affected by being in close proximity to abandoned mines.
A recent Environmental Search carried out by the Coal Authority, revealed that properties in the areas of Basset Street and Drump Road might potentially be affected by previous mining activities.

According to the UK Government's Public Health England, all properties within Redruth are in a raised radon area. The raised radon area, which includes Falmouth Road, Trewirgie Road and Fore Street, has a maximum radon potential of greater than 30% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where radon emissions might measure above the action level).
Properties in some areas of Redruth such as those within streets such as Chapel Street, Penryn Street and Tolgus Vean may be affected by surface water flooding as a result of heavy rainfall. If you are buying a property with a mortgage, a solicitor may advise that you get an additional Flood Risk Report (click to find out more).
Cornwall is the most south-westerly county in England and is surrounded by water on three sides, touching only Devon county by land. It was traditionally associated with tin mining and fishing, but nowadays the main economic activity in the county is tourism. The county town and only city is Truro. Other towns include Falmouth, Camborne and Redruth.Cornwall is a peninsula with no motorways, few trunk roads (A39 and A30 are among them), a limited railway network and has a small airport in Newquay. The main transport hub is Truro and both Truro and Penzance have some direct railway services to London Paddington.
Cornwall has some beautiful coastal villages and towns including, for example, St Ives and Falmouth. Land's End is a popular tourist destination and is the starting point for people tackling the journey, whether on foot or bike or motorbike, to John O'Groats, the most northerly village in Scotland.
There is one university, the Falmouth University, as well as sites of the University of Exeter. Cornwall is a place of many festivals - there are frequent festivals at the Lizard for example and Porthcurno is the site of the Minack Theatre, an open-air amphitheatre, constructed above a gully with a rocky granite outcrop jutting into the sea. Surfing is very popular in the county.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
When you buy a home with a mortgage your Mortgage Lender requires you to get a mortgage valuation to assess how much your property is actually worth. You have to pay for this survey and often you may think this is also a structural assessment to identify defects.
Sadly the mortgage valuation is just for the mortgage lender which means you need to get your own independent survey of the property that you'd like to buy in Redruth to make sure there aren't any defects.
There is some confusion as the mortgage valuation is often referred to as a survey and so many buyers assume this is what is meant by 'have you done your survey?' It is important that when buying a property in Redruth that you arrange your own HomeBuyers Survey that reports on defects or potential issues with the property.
The two types of HomeBuyers Survey to choose from are the HomeBuyers Report or the Building Survey. Buying without a survey could leave you exposed to any repair costs or defects that you didn't spot. The costs of underpinning a property due to subsidence run into the £10,000s so it is important to get a survey to check for this type of defect. Buy your HomeBuyers Survey - call 0333 344 3234.
