As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
