Soundproofing - would a survey pick that up?
Nope. A surveyor will listen for 'noise and disturbance', but unless there's any happening while they're there they won't spot it. You need to do your own due diligence on this.
Here's what the survey for the place we're buying said:
No factors relating to noise or disturbances were noted during the course of the inspection. However, you may wish to carry out drive-past inspections of the property at various times during the day so that you can assess whether there are any factors which may affect the property.
So that's external noise but the question is how to assess internal noise at various times of day.

@Silly_Savage don't really know Eastville to be honest but I do have a preference to be quite central. Going to have an explore that way later. All my mates are central ish and easier to let a room out somewhere like St Werburghs.
Soundproofing - would a survey pick that up? From what I've read some conversions are definitely better than others. Living in a terraced house at the moment and neighbour's kitchen one side backs on to the lounge and we hear everything.
