Camarthenshire is a county in the Southeast of Wales and is the largest of its thirteen historic counties. Carmarthenshire is mainly an agricultural county, apart from the southeastern part which at one time was heavily industrialised with coal mining, steel-making and tin-plating. The economy of the area consists of agriculture, forestry, fishing and tourism. Much of the coast is fairly flat; it includes the Millennium Coastal Park; the National Wetlands Centre; a championship golf course; and the harbours of Burry Port and Pembrey. Further west are the sandy beaches at Llansteffan and Pendine, and Dylan Thomas' boathouse at Laugharne. There are a number of medieval castles, hillforts and standing stones in the county.

Why can’t I have a HomeBuyer Report on a thatched cottage?
Any property older than 70years/that has had the original fabric of the structure altered/or has a unique feature like a thatched roof is best catered for by a building survey.
The HomeBuyer Report comes in a standard format and anything that falls outside of that, such as an older property where the original build materials have decayed, won’t be adequately addressed and will require the bespoke nature of reporting that comes with a Building Survey.
Does your property look like this?
The Level 2: HomeBuyer Report or a snagging report is ideal for a new build property.
You core goal is to ensure the developers have completed the build to the standard that you have agreed between you and them.
There are often cases where the developers builder miss certain areas, or the finish isn't quite to the standard you want, so a surveyor will look to pick up on items that the developer needs to address either before completion (if you have the time to do so) or afterwards by agreement.
