I am in the process of buying my first property in Tilbury. Conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not necessary as the house is only fifteen years old.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over ten years old the property will be without 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 may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation if relevant. If there are any signs of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
