Home Buyer Report Guildford
If you’re thinking about buying a property in Guildford and it doesn’t have a damp proofing or timber treatment guarantee, we recommend taking action. A home buyer report from a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyor will give you peace of mind that no hidden issues lie ahead.
What is a home buyer report?
If you want to be confident in your home purchase, it’s essential to ensure you have comprehensive knowledge about exactly what you are buying. A standard Level 2 Home Survey, formerly known as the HomeBuyers Survey, provides a structural survey and can contribute towards the property valuation. However, some properties would benefit from a more extensive survey that looks for the presence of timber damage, dry rot and damp.
With all of the information, you can make an informed choice about your home purchase and this could save you from purchasing a property with extensive damp damage. If you choose to go ahead with the purchase anyway, you can use the damp and timber home buyer report to negotiate a fair price. You don’t have to be caught out by unexpected damage to your home after the purchase has been finalized. We’ll help to uncover all issues and risk factors for future damage before you move forward.
Issues uncovered by a home buyers report
Standard building surveys look at things like the structure and the roof to identify potential problems. These factors are used to reassure the lender that they won’t lose out if the property turns out to be structurally damaged in some way. Most lenders will require this to be carried out before they can make a final decision on your mortgage. It’s important to remember that this information protects their interests, but it’s not always extensive enough to protect the buyer from a bad investment.
Issues with damp and timber could be expensive to fix for the buyer, so it’s in their best interest to have all of the information before going forward with a purchase. This is why we recommend an additional home buyer survey carried out by a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyor. Our team will carry out a thorough investigation of your chosen Guildford property.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
As part of our service, we dig a little deeper to uncover any potential issues with the property. This goes beyond the subsidence report and roof report and uncovers potential issues with basement waterproofing, rising damp, penetrating damp and timber problems. This report will highlight issues that might impact the current and future value of the property, so you can decide if the asking price is fair.
An RICS building survey will rarely include lifting the floorboards or carpets, which means that hidden problems could be lurking, waiting until after you purchase the home to be discovered. We recommend getting ahead of the problem with a more in-depth report from a damp proofing expert. Our more extensive home buyers report will give you all of the information you need to make the right decision.
