Hello
We're buying a detached house, built in the 1960-69 period. It's standard construction as far as I can see (bricks, don't know about cavity wall, tiled roof)and is on an established housing estate. There's been an extension built at some stage, ading an upstairs bedroom and a downstairs dining room. The extension seems well-done to me, and there are no obvious signs of cracks in the brickwork etc. but note that I know almost nothing about building houses or extensions.
I suspect that a standard "homebuyer's survey" would have sufficed but I decided to be extra sure, hence going the extra 250 quid for the building survey. Apart from asking the surveyor to pay particular attention to the electrical wiring and the flat roof that makes up the attached garage and utility room area, what other things might you suggest that I ask the surveyor to highlight? I have only ever had a homebuyer's survey done before, so I don't know how much extra detail I should expect for my outlay or what I should be entitled to ask for specifically.
TIA for opinions based on your experiences
