Home Buyer Report Staines-upon-Thames
Thinking about purchasing a home in Staines-upon-Thames? If the property doesn’t have a damp and timber survey, you could be at risk of unexpected expenses. With our help, you can move forward with your purchase with confidence. The Tapco Homedry surveyors are qualified to Property Care Association (PCA) standards, giving you peace of mind that you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision.
What is a home buyer report?
There are lots of different types of home buyer reports available. The standard Level 2 Home Buyer Report is a requirement for most mortgage providers to be able to make a lending decision. While this report can uncover some important issues, it will often miss problems related to damp and timber damage. That’s where Tapco Homedry can help you to fill in the gaps.
For extra peace of mind during the property purchasing process, you can commission an additional report from the Tapco Homedry surveyors. This will look for issues related to damp and timber damage, in addition to outlining the risk factors present in the property. This additional information can help you to avoid taking on a property with hidden problems, or it could help you to negotiate a fair price for the property with this information in mind.
Issues uncovered by a home buyers report
Before you purchase a property, you need to make sure you have all of the information. Lenders will want to know that there are no issues that might impact the structure and therefore the value of the home. This is why home buyer reports will typically look for issues such as roof problems, subsidence or Japanese knotweed. These limited reports will not include issues related to damp, which could lead to expensive repairs in the future.
Damp and timber damage can be more expensive to fix the longer it is left. Having all of the information before you decide to purchase a property can help you to negotiate on the price, or to walk away if the cost of repair will be too high. With the help of our skilled surveyors, you can move forward with your property purchase with all of the information you need to make an informed decision. So there will be no hidden surprises waiting to be discovered after you have moved in.


What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report includes a comprehensive analysis of the property to look for any signs of damp or timber damage. While a standard Level 2 Home Buyers Survey might report these issues if they are obvious, a surveyor won’t go looking for them.
If you suspect the home you are thinking about purchasing has a damp problem, then you can commission our Property Care Association (PCA) qualified damp and timber surveyors to dig a little deeper. They can find evidence of past damp problems that might have led to timber damage that has not been addressed. This will ensure you aren’t left out of pocket by unexpected repairs further down the line.
