Top tips for a Manchester Home Buyers Survey
Manchester is a major city in the northwest of England and its history goes at least back to Roman times. It expanded from a township to a city at the turn of the 19th century and with the textile industry which grew rapidly in the period of the Industrial Revolution.
Manchester Cathedral dates back originally to 1421. Manchester's buildings display a variety of architectural styles, ranging from Victorian to contemporary architecture. The widespread use of red brick characterises the city, much of the architecture of which harks back to its days as a global centre for the cotton trade.
Manchester also has a number of skyscrapers built during the 1960s and 1970s, the tallest of which was the CIS Tower located near Manchester Victoria station until the Beetham Tower was completed in 2006.
Manchester's centre was heavily bombed during the second world war, which caused plenty of housebuilding to occur after the war and from the 1950s to the 1970s, with many standard construction semi-detached houses and terrace houses being built.
There are numerous new developments in and around Manchester and its suburbs including those you can find in Pendleton, Gorton, Oldham, Middleton and Atherton.

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 Manchester 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.
