Purchasing a property is likely to be the most expensive process you will ever enter into. A mortgage lender's valuation will provide a basic level of survey, the report will only mention readily identifiable matters that significantly affect the valuation, and are not therefore considered to be a report on the property's condition.
All buildings have one thing in common with their owners, they age and deteriorate and the older they become the more TLC they require to keep them in a serviceable condition. You want to know what the problem is. How was it caused? How can it be corrected? How much will it cost to put it right? A conscientious property owner will quickly identify a problem as a stand-alone item or will discover the defect during regular maintenance.
The Party Wall Act confers rights and duties on a building owner carrying out certain works that affect adjoining property. The Party Wall Act 1996 is legislation that many property owners are unaware of and as a result fall foul of its requirements. Even more worrying is the fact that a large proportion of general builders frequently employed by a property owner are also unaware of its provisions.
Listed and historic buildings demand a different approach to their repair and maintenance. An owner or prospective owner of a Listed Building carries a burden of responsibility to protect a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national importance in terms of architectural or historic interest.
