Home Buyer Report Maidenhead
Thinking about purchasing property in Maidenhead? Before you make this important decision, it’s vital that you have all of the information to make an informed choice. If the property you are looking at doesn’t have a damp proofing or timber guarantee, you could be leaving yourself open to risk. Tapco Homedry can help to put your mind at ease with a home buyer report from a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyor.
What is a home buyer report?
There are different types of home buyer’s reports available to prospective buyers. It’s essential for you to commission your own reports and not always rely on those offered by the seller, as these might be chosen to present the property in the best possible light. The bare minimum required by most lenders is the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey. This report looks for common issues such as subsidence, roof problems and Japanese knotweed. It can give you some reassurance that the property is structurally sound, but it only covers so much.
Not all issues will be immediately obvious, and an untrained eye wouldn’t know what to look for. Our home buyer report goes deeper and looks at potential risk factors related to damp and timber damage. Our experts can help you to make an informed decision by ensuring that you know exactly what you are purchasing. We can help you to understand the extent of damp and timber problems, and the anticipated costs of getting these issues fixed. This can allow you to negotiate on the price from an informed position.
Issues uncovered by a home buyers report
Mortgage providers will want to see a home survey as part of their lending requirements. This helps them to confirm the valuation of the property to minimise the risk of lending more than the property is worth. This limits the risk to the lender, but doesn’t offer full protection to the buyer. With our home buyer report, you can uncover all potential issues with a property so you know exactly what you are up against.
Issues with damp and timber damage can be pervasive and difficult to tackle, which will increase the costs to the buyer if they move forward with the purchase. Our surveys are carried out by Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyors, which means they are ideally positioned to be able to uncover issues that might otherwise be missed.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report goes above and beyond to help you understand the condition of the home you are hoping to purchase. Structural surveys often miss issues with damp and timber damage as they don’t look under floorboards or lift carpet. Hidden issues could be lurking in the dark, waiting until you have moved in to be discovered. Our reporting will help to identify all potential issues, including risk factors unique to Maidenhead properties.
To feel confident in your decision, we encourage you to commission a damp and timber guaranteed survey from a true expert. We can help you to stay one step ahead in the negotiations, ensuring that you get a fair price for your property. When you’re armed with all of the information, you can make a decision with confidence.
