Top tips for a Morden Home Buyers Survey
Morden has a small number of properties which predate the 19th century, such as an ex-coaching inn built in the 17th century, but the vast majority of properties were built in the 20th century, from 1926, when Morden Underground Station was opened.
The council built the St Helier Estate in the 1930s and it still survives today: it is mainly composed of terrace blocks such as in Winchcombe Road and Hexham Road. (Green Lane has low-rise flat blocks).
There are plenty of new build developments, such as the low-rise flat blocks of Pilgrim Close and Hillcross Avenue.

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.
NB If you're a first time buyer, you might wish to click on What is a House Survey to find out more, including what happens during the inspection.

The Home Buyer Survey will report on issues found, however you need to make sure that you choose the right Home Buyer Survey for your property because some defects require further detail and this is best served by booking a Building Survey.
You can find a local RICS surveyor by using the search at the bottom RHS of this page.

What if your surveyor misses something which ends up costing £1,000s?
Our RICS surveyors are required to have indemnity insurance which matches the value of a property they're inspecting.
That means that if they miss something vital which later turns out to be an expensive defect and one which they should have spotted, you can claim the costs of remedy from them.
