Not all surveys are the same - and the right one depends on the property you're buying!
A Lender Basic survey is primarily there for the lender, giving them enough information to assess whether the property is suitable security for the mortgage.
A HomeBuyers survey goes further, looking at the condition of the property and highlighting potential issues you might need to know about.
Then there's a Full Structural survey - the most detailed option, often worth considering for older, unusual or significantly altered properties.
It might not be the most exciting part of buying a home, but knowing what you're actually buying before you commit is pretty important and can save you a massive headache down the line!
