I am in the process of buying my 1st home in Old St Mellons. Conveyancing practitioner has been appointed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed 16 yrs ago.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is more than ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
