My wife and I plan to acquire our first property in King's Cross. Conveyancing lawyer has been selected. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 16 yrs ago.
You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was built over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any apparent problems and recommend further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
