Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A 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.

Does your surveyor check the chimney?
If you're buying a period property which features a chimney you will want to ensure there are no defects or issues with pointing that may cause you issues in the future.
Your RICS surveyor will assess the exterior of a chimney usually from ground level or a nearby vantage point/accessible flat roof to note any issues visible and advise accordingly.
Internally your surveyor will visually check for any signs of structural movement and that the flue is clear, however, this is only possible if accessible.
You should note, however, that surveyors are not structural engineers and so they may advise a further inspection is carried out by such a suitable specialist if suspicions of defects are noted.
