    Are there any major works in the planning that will add a premium to the service costs? It is important to be aware if a new roof is being put on or some other significant cost is pending that will be shared amongst the leasehold owners and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a one off payment. How is the lease structured?

My husband and I hope to purchase our first property in Westbury. Conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not needed as the property was only built 22 years ago.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built over a decade ago the property will not benefit from 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 could be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation where relevant. If there are any indications of material issues get a full structural survey.
