 Moving house - survey? - Focusless
We're looking to purchase a house built we think in 1929, although that's only the date on the deeds - might just apply to the land, and the house could have been built later? Definitely around that time though.

Anyway FiL says that some houses at that time were built 'on the cheap', so has advised us to go for a full structural survey. However SWMBO isn't sure whether it's worth it (cost ~£1k) - is suggesting just getting a valuation (£300) then experts to follow anything up, and perhaps a damp expert to have a look either way.

Any opinions? FWIW property is a 3 bed detached, seems to be in good nick on the surface.
