The structural survey

This type of survey is normally not required on a newer property, but could prove useful if you intended to carry out structural alterations or extensions. It is however a must on an older property if you want peace of mind when considering buying your new home, but it is entirely down to you to decide whether to commission it or not. As this will be a detailed analysis of the property in question it will require the consent of the owner before the survey is completed. On completion of the report discuss in detail the findings with the surveyor.

It is recommended, particularly when you are spending additional money for this survey to ensure that the surveyor is a member of a professional body and holds indemnity insurance.
