A structural survey combined with the snag-list on a new build, AH or not, is an absolute must.... if it's an AH property presumably it's brand new.....therefore no need for structural survey as far as I know....
In my opinion, no, as I've already said -Are Structural Surveys and snag lists the same thing just one goes into more detail than the other? ...
If you feel they are the same thing and are happy with that, that's your decision.A structural survey combined with the snag-list on a new build, AH or not, is an absolute must.
Do not assume because its a new build or AH that planning requirements and so on will have been complied with - read the previous threads on here about nightmares on new builds...
... Also do you need to have a Structural Survey done on a newly built house?
Homebond is an insurance policy that is included in the price of your house - its also a handy way for builders / developers to do their Pontius Pilate act after you move in; "Your house is fallin' down you say Missus? Jays I'm sorry to hear that, but its not our problem, we have the house signed off by you, your bank, your snagger and your surveyor. In anyways, haven't you got Homebond, surely they'll fix you up?"... when I enquired with the guy who did my snag he said no need for structural survey, it's covered by Homebond or something to that effect so I didn't bother pursuing it!!! ...
how do i find out if im covered by homebond sorry for the silly questions but i really havent any knowledge of things like this.Homebond is an insurance policy that is included in the price of your house
Mathepac,
Forgive my ignorance....Im buying an AH property and when I enquired with the guy who did my snag he said no need for structural survey, it's covered by Homebond or something to that effect so I didn't bother pursuing it!!! And at no point did anyone mention the valuation certificate for re-construction to me.....unless is this is the valuation carried out on behalf of my lender?
