Top tips for a Darlington Home Buyers Survey
Due to the main developments of the town being in the Victorian and Edwardian era, there are many beautiful properties in Darlington built in this period. Some Victorian properties lie on streets such as Coniscliffe Road and Southend Avenue of detached, semi-detached and terrace styles. There are semi-detached Edwardian properies on Milbank Road and Stanhope Road North.
Despite most houses being from this era there are also some older Georgian properities such as terrace houses on Front Street.
Millfields at Lingfield Point is a new development 2 miles east of Darlington containing many new 3/4 bedroom properties with easy access into the town.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Darlington and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
