My partner and I intend to buy our 1st home in Everton. Conveyancing lawyer has been instructed. The broker pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed 16 yrs ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was constructed more than 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 defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any apparent issues and recommend further investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems get a full structural survey.
