Home Buyer Report Reading
Thinking about purchasing property in Reading? If the property doesn’t have a damp proofing and timber guarantee, you could be exposing yourself to unnecessary risk. Protect yourself from unexpected costs with our home buyer report in Reading. This home survey is completed by a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyor for added peace of mind.
What is a home buyer report?
There are lots of different types of home buyer reports available for prospective buyers. These reports help lenders to decide how much a property is worth, and they also help to identify potential issues that buyers should know about before moving forward. On the surface, your Reading property might seem structurally sound, but damp and timber issues could be lurking below the surface. Our home buyer report can help to uncover them before you make a decision.
This information can help you to make a decision from an informed position, or it could help you to negotiate a fairer price for the property. A standard Level 2 Home Buyer Survey will only tell you so much. With our help, you can get an in-depth report on the presence of damp in the property and ensure there is no timber damage waiting to be repaired.
Issues uncovered by a home buyers report
It’s essential that you understand what you are purchasing when you buy a new property. A standard home buyers report will only uncover so much, and they are typically intended to help protect the lender from increased risk. These reports might look for signs of subsidence or Japanese knotweed. Issues with rising damp, penetrating damp and timber damage will often be missed.
These issues could be expensive to fix if they are discovered too late. To ensure you have all of the information before you purchase a property, we recommend securing a home buyer report from a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyor. With the help of our skilled and attentive team, we can ensure you have all of the relevant information you need to make an informed choice.


What’s included with a home buyer report?
With our home buyer report, you can enjoy added peace of mind that your future home is not going to be damaged by damp or timber damage. The standard Level 2 Home Buyers Report will often miss these issues as the surveyors aren’t trained to look for them. It’s rare that they would look under carpet or lift floorboards to identify issues with damp and timber damage.
Our reports are carried out by Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyors, so you can feel confident in the results. Our reports also come with Guaranteed Protection Insurance (GPI) for a single premium payment. Armed with this information, you can negotiate a better deal on the property, or you can request that work is completed before the sale is complete. This can help to ensure you aren’t left out of pocket when issues like damp and timber damage slip through the cracks.
