Surveying can come in a variety of forms. Most homeowners will come across a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the process of buying or selling a house. The Home Buyer’s Survey is completed to make certain that the home buyer is fully informed of the condition of the home they are buying, along with any probable issues around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for properties where the buyer is less certain of its condition, a full building survey can be undertaken, which goes into more detail than a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will highlight any additional problems with the house as well as involving an inspection of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will involve an assessment of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also carry out snagging reports, which are performed after a new build is completed to highlight any concerns or defects with the quality of the building which can then be rectified.
When searching for a company to undertake surveying work, ensure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

Oakham is a historic English market town in Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is located to the west of Rutland Water, which is one of the biggest man-made lakes in Europe. It is home to All Saints’ Church, founded in the 14th Century, and Oakham Castle, which was built in the 12th Century. Only the great hall of the castle is still standing, and it is a valued tourist attraction in the area.
Every Wednesday and Saturday in Oakham there is a market where a number of local goods are on sale. Every third Saturday there is a farmer’s market on Gaol Street, where local farmers sell their goods.
An interesting landmark in Oakham is the Oakham Signal Box, which Airfix used as a template for all their model rail products. Another custom that the town has is hanging horseshoes in the great hall of the castle. Every time a member of royalty or peer of the realm passed through Oakham, they had to pay a forfeit in the form of a horseshoe. The horseshoes hang upside-down which is widely seen to be unlucky, but in Oakham this was to stop the Devil from resting in the hollow.
