Leasehold property survey - which sort?

Hi!


We have just put in an offer on a leasehold property (a maisonette). The property is pretty old, definitely at least 200 years old. We were assured that a recent damp survey brought up no bad results and that the roof and anything exterior is the freehold owners issue. So, what sort of survey should we get done on it? I don't want to waste our money paying out for the wrong survey!


Any advice appreciated, please, no silly answers, only those who have a good idea on this matter - many thanks x

Hi, you should get a homebuyers survey done on the maisonette. The surveyor will test for damp, rot, woodworm infestation, etc, etc. They will tell you about the main walls, floors, windows, pipes, grounds and boundaries associated with the property. The survey will also tell you about almost everything you would want to know about possible repairs needed in the future.


They are very helpful surveys to have done and then you can finally make your mind up once you know the ins and outs of the property's faults and possible repairs needed in the future.





Surveys are not that expensive and will give you peace of mind about the property you are buying, so you will know everything before buying it.
