My husband and I intend to purchase our first house in Littleport. Conveyancing lawyer already selected. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 16 yrs ago.
You would be best advised to commission a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation if appropriate. Where there are any signs of problems get a full structural survey.
