    Looking to get a pre purchase house survey done.

    Was talking to some house surveyors and some say you need to check all of the above(Certificate of Compliance and Declaration of Identity) while other say you don't need too.

    Anyone got any idea what's really needed for a house survey?

    Is the house brand new/second hand/old?

    Maybe some more detail and location required.

    It was built in 1989, three bed detached in an estate.

    are you buying or selling? because its the vendors responsibility to get those ducks in a row.

    whereas a purchaser gets a "pre purchase house survey" done

    I'm buying.

    It was actually just one surveyor who said I should get all them checked.

    Should I not get the folio map for the surveyor so he can check the boundaries?

    Who checks the vendor has all the ducks in a row, my solicitor?

    Yes exactly.
    That's why they get paid the big bucks ;)
    They should organise to get the boundaries checked.

    Talked to my solicitor today and she said its up to the surveyor to check the boundaries not her.

    Is this normal?

    It's up to her to arrange that the boundaries are correct, not you!

    any solicitors i know are the ones who organise to get boundaries checked during the conveyancing procedure. im not say they themselves physically go on site, built they organise the surveyor, architect, engineer etc to check areas, boundaries etc as its part of the legal conveyancing procedure.

    the vendor should be providing a cert of identity anyway, and maybe has already. which declares that the property on the ground corresponds to that on the folio map. but sometimes a vendor wouldnt have one, or refuse to provide one, therefore the costs are borne by the purchaser and you should be told this.

    if your solicitor isnt doing this for you she should be upfront with what aspects of the procedure she is not covering.

    it may be teh case thats shes new to this and doesnt know anyone who provides teh service
