I'm buying a flat in a 5 years old building and I'm not sure what survey to go for. The building still has the 10 years insurance, so I'm wondering if I need something between a snag survey and a homebuyers? I would like to know if the heating works for example, or if the pipes are leaking etc - not sure if the homebuyers report would pick this up though.
The mortgage broker is advising against a structural survey because of the age of the building, which I found a bit surprising.
