Home Buyer Report High Wycombe
Thinking about purchasing property in High Wycombe? Protect your investment with the help of a comprehensive home buyer report from Tapco Homedry. If the property you are hoping to buy doesn’t have a damp proofing or timber guarantee, you could be putting yourself at risk. With our help, you can have the reassurance from the Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyor.
What is a home buyer report?
Before purchasing property, it’s essential to know what you are getting into. Your High Wycombe property might look structurally sound, but issues could be lurking and waiting to present themselves. Lenders will often want to see a Level 2 Home Buyer Survey before they will make a decision on your mortgage amount. This can influence the lender’s valuation, which could impact how much you can borrow. While this is a helpful survey to have, it is designed to protect the lender’s interests.
For complete peace of mind, you should go one step further with a survey that looks at the risk of issues like rising damp and timber damage so that you know about potential problems you could face if you move forward with the purchase. It can help you to negotiate a price on the property based on all of the information, so you aren’t caught out with expensive repairs further down the line.
Issues uncovered by a home buyers report
A standard Level 2 Home Buyer Survey will uncover issues such as the presence of subsidence, Japanese knotweed and problems with the roof. These are all common structural issues that could impact the value of the property in the future. Many lenders will pull mortgage offers if these issues are found as it increases their risk. However, there are other issues that are more likely to impact the buyer.
Damp and issues with the timber structure of your home can be costly to fix, but not impossible to do so. It’s important that buyers have all the information before moving forward with a property purchase in High Wycombe. You want to feel confident that you won’t be left facing the repair bill for issues that should have been raised before the purchase. With our help, you could head into property negotiations with all of the information.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report will go above and beyond what is typically found prior to purchase so that you can understand the risk factors facing the property. It will uncover issues such as damp and timber damage, since it goes beyond the investigation typically completed during a standard home survey. For example, a Level 2 Home Buyer Survey typically wouldn’t lift carpet or look under floorboards if there is evidence of damp.
Our reports are carried out by Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyors, so you can feel confident in the results. This can help you to enter into negotiations on the price of the property with all of the information you need. You could request that damp proofing is carried out before the purchase, or you could negotiate on the price to account for the additional work needed.
