I am in the process of buying my first property in Knaresborough. Conveyancing solicitor has been selected. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed in 2001.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent issues and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any signs of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
