Over a fifth of home buyers who did not have a survey are saddled with a property they would never have bought.
Many are left with a property they regret buying and an average of 5,750 in repair bills.
Results from a RICS survey of home buyers showed common misconceptions.
Nearly 60% of respondents incorrectly identified an estate agent's main responsibility with 1 in 10 mistakenly believing estate agents act for the buyer, whilst nearly 1 in 5 thinking they act equally for the buyer and seller.

Old buildings of traditional construction account for a significant proportion of the national building stock.
Their sheer numbers make it certain that nearly all building professionals will have to deal with them from time to time and some practitioners will be involved with them all of the time.
Whether protected by listing or not, these are the buildings that determine the familiar character of many of our towns and villages and they need to be handled with knowledge and skill.
We are fully familiar with the formal protective measures for buildings of special architectural or historic interest.

The role of Contract Administrator (CA) in a wide sense has been in existence on building projects for centuries.
The role involves managing the contract between the employer and building contractor.
This is a role that was historically performed by the architect, while the role of CA can be undertaken by several possible professionals, with the architect traditionally filling the role, the scope of who can be the CA has widened to include building surveyors, quantity surveyors, management surveyors and engineers.

Since the Party Wall etc Act 1996 came into force, homeowners in England and Wales have had a procedure to follow when building work involves a party wall or party fence wall, some excavations close to neighbouring buildings, and new walls at boundaries.
The Act is designed to avoid or minimise disputes by making sure property owners notify their neighbours in advance of certain proposed works.
You must also notify your neighbour if you propose to build a new wall on the line of junction (boundary) between two properties.
