My partner and I intend to buy our first home in Exton. Conveyancing solicitor has been appointed. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed in 1997.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without 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 could be enough. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of problems seek a full structural survey.
