I am in the process of purchasing my 1st home in Dalston. Conveyancing practitioner has been instructed. The mortgage adviser pointed out that a survey is not needed as the house was only constructed twenty two years ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of problems get a full structural survey.
