A Home Buyer Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property aimed at pinpointing issues such as subsidence, damp, cracks, infestation and damage.
The survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive and is highly recommended if you are looking at buying a property in Runwell.

Should any issues be flagged up in the Home Buyers Survey, our surveyor will tell you what you need to do to get more in-depth advice on the extent and seriousness of the issue and what needs to be done to remedy it.
If you are worried about a crack or cracks or indeed any other defects that you think your property in Runwell has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might snowball into many thousands of pounds further down the line. As an example of the costs, underpinning a property due to subsidence can be upwards of £10,000.

Home Buyer Survey tips for buying in Runwell
Originally the majority of the architecture in Runwell dated back to the Victorian period, with very few modern homes. However there is a new development called St Luke's Park which has new properties designed for modern living.
There is a mixture of property styles in the village including terrace houses on Alderney Gardens and detached houses on Brock Hill and Runwell Road. There are many large detached properties in Runwell with large gardens, so it is an ideal location for families.
A tributary of the River Crouch runs through Runwell and properties which are built close to its path may be subject to flood alerts from time to time. This includes Vikings Way, Locarno Avenue and Church End Lane.
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).
Raised levels of noise pollution may be experienced in Runwell due to Runwell Road and the A130. Roads in between the two, especially St Luke's Way and Runwell Chase may have the highest level of noise pollution in the village.
In a recent environmental search carried out for a property in Billericay, reference was made to a moderate potential for ground instability within 50m of the property.

Essex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical and used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend, a seaside resort, to Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are water (the River Thames and the North Sea), the remainder includes Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
Many people are not entirely sure about the difference between a mortgage valuation and a HomeBuyers Survey.
Your lender conducts its own valuation on the property in Runwell you intend to buy to check that it is lending you the right sum of money in relation to the property's value. It is not intended to examine any defects which might affect the property.
When you book a HomeBuyers Survey from us, as well as receiving an independent valuation of the property you wish to buy, the primary focus is to establish whether the property has any issues which you should know about, for example rising damp or subsidence, which might, particularly as time passes, end up requiring even tens of thousands of pounds to put right.
This knowledge is naturally of great use to you, given how much you are intending to spend. You might, on the strength of the information, provided, negotiate with the seller to contribute towards the costs of repairing the defects or even pull out buying the property entirely.
Most importantly, any HomeBuyers Survey is entirely for YOUR benefit and is independent of both your lender - if you are buying with a mortgage - and your vendor. Call 0333 344 3234 to get yours and to help your peace of mind.

The Level 2: HomeBuyer Report is perfectly suited for standard construction properties that have not had any material changes, run down or extensions to them. Many clients prefer to get a Level 3: Building Survey as they don't want to miss any defects, however it is important to note that both surveys inspect the same areas of the property and it is unlikely that any additional content will appear in the report of a Building Survey compared to a HomeBuyer Report.
