Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a homebuyers survey, 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 Chalfont St Peter incredibly important.

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 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.
Does your property look like this?
Converted Victorian flats can be confusing for buyers trying to choose which survey is best.
Most RICS surveyors prefer to complete Level 3: Building Survey due to the age of the property, however some other surveyors will complete a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report.
The best advice is to get the surveyor to inspect the property and check the condition and then guide you on what survey best suits a Victorian Conversion.
