  • We've had an offer accepted on a two bed Victorian house, it was bought by the current owner in late 2019, it's been completely refurbished back to brick in 2020 to a good standard, new windows, doors, kitchen, bathroom, reinstated fireplaces, all plasterwork redone, new electrics and DB board (signed off Oct 2020), new boiler and heating system (there wasn't central heating previously).

    All external brickwork is good, roof looks fine, and on my next visit will be taking a ladder to get in the loft and take a proper look from the inside.

    Am I absolutely mad not getting a full survey, it feels like a waste of money, but am I just being a bit daft on such a purchase?

  • I bought something very similar and got a surveyor.

    Partly for comfort (if big issues had subsequently arisen then maybe the surveyor would have flagged them) but they did identify a few issues I may not have picked up on in relation to damp and the damp proof course.
