As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation if relevant. Where there are any indications of material issues get a full structural survey.
