I'd agree with the above, get a full buildings survey. It may not throw up anything (although I know a couple of people who have pulled out following the survey) but if something does subsequently turn up you'll wonder if the survey would have found it.
If you're spending hundreds of thousands I wouldn't skimp on paying £700 for a full buildings survey.

We have had our offer accepted, woo hoo. First weekend of viewings and only place we offered on, although we have been studying the market/area for a while.
Much discussion on here about surveys. The place has been nicely renovated including a full width single storey rear extension and two rooms and bathroom loft conversion that all looks well finished. Done in the last 5 years, but not brand new, so hopefully any teething problems have been ironed out.
So what survey if any should we get? I would guess it's more checking the quality of the recent works.
