Top tips for a Whitechapel Home Buyers Survey
Whitechapel is a district of East London in Tower Hamlets Borough and is close to St Katharine Docks. It contains the Saint Botolph Without Aldgate church; it was most recently completed in 1744 but there has been a church on the site for more than 1,000 years. Its Crossrail station is set to open in 2018.
A small number of period houses are in the area behind the Royal London Hospital. Elsewhere, there is a mix of period properties and conversion flats, such as in Philpot Street, often above commercial premises, converted warehouses, modern flats and right-to-buy former council flats.

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 Whitechapel 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.
