While not mandatory, obtaining a survey before listing can identify issues that might affect your sale price or cause problems during conveyancing. Given that many properties in OX29 6 were built between 1936 and 1979, structural and condition issues may be present.

This is particularly valuable in the OX29 6 market where buyers are often securing mortgage financing that requires a professional survey.
