Top tips for a Maldon Home Buyers Survey
Maldon had a railway station during the period of 1889-1966. During this period many houses were built due to the increase in popularity of the town, now that it had rail links. Edwardian properties are still available on streets such as Chandlers Way, Mill Road and London Road. These are in varying styles of detached, semi-detached and terrace. Most of the Edwardian properties still have the beautiful Edwardian exterior but the interiors have been updated.

Essex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical and used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend, a seaside resort, to Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are water (the River Thames and the North Sea), the remainder includes Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
When you get a mortgage your mortgage lender requires you to pay for a survey valuation of the property.
The aim of this survey is to give the mortgage lender reassurance that the property is worth what you are paying.
Although you pay for the mortgage valuation survey, it belongs to the mortgage lender and often you won't be allowed to see it.

It is paramount that when buying a property in Maldon, Langford or Broad Street Green you get your own HomeBuyers Survey that reports on defects or potential issues with the property; either a HomeBuyers Report or a Building Survey.

Does your property look like this?
Run down properties, or ones in need of renovation require a Level 3: Building Survey as the Level 2: HomeBuyer Report does provide the depth of information about defects.
RICS states that the HomeBuyer Report "is specifically designed for lay clients who are seeking a professional opinion at an economic price.
It is, therefore, necessarily less comprehensive than a level 3 building survey.
The focus of the service is on assessing the general condition of the main elements of a property, and identifying and evaluating the particular features that affect its present value and may affect its future resale.
The inspection is not exhaustive, and no tests are undertaken".
