Top tips for a Hertford Home Buyers Survey
Hertford is Hertfordshire's county town and has been so since Saxon times. Its town centre still has its medieval layout with many timber-framed buildings hidden under later frontages, particularly in St Andrew Street. The Victorian era saw much building in the town as transport links to London improved.
There are many different styles of property in the area; from the bungalows from various periods as can be found in for example Wentworth Road or Wilton Crescent, to the Georgian manor houses in Marden Hill, to the Victorian cottages in Duncombe Road.
New build developments include the townhouses in Rush Green, where Help to Buy is an option.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

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.
