When do I need a home buyer report?
Every buyer should arrange some level of home buyer report to ensure peace of mind and confidence in the purchase process. Not only will it bring transparency to the process, but it will also help you to protect your financial interests. Lenders often request some level of survey in order to confirm the property valuation and to make a lending decision. Sellers can also provide surveys in order to speed up the sale and offer reassurance. But it is buyers who have the most interest in securing comprehensive surveys before they sign on the dotted line.
The standard report is known as the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey. This is recommended for modern properties that are assumed to be in a generally good condition. This report will often miss issues with damp and timber damage as it isn’t looking for them. For added protection and reassurance, we recommend a full damp and timber guarantee. This will help you to move forward with complete confidence.
Importance of the home buyer report in Chertsey
Most homes in the UK would be considered to be at risk for damp and timber damage. This is due to construction methods and the unique climate. There are always measures in place to protect against damp, but these measures can fail over time. The earliest signs of damp aren’t always visible or obvious, which is why it can be problematic when you are buying a house. The existing owner might not even know they have a damp problem.
With the help of our team of independent surveyors, you can quickly get to the heart of any issues and better understand the work required to restore the property. They will look for signs of existing problems, alongside evidence of past issues and risk factors you might face in the future. This information can help you to make a fully informed decision about whether you want to move forward with the purchase. This level of transparency in the reporting process will help you avoid problems further down the line.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report is looking specifically for the presence of damp and timber issues in a property. Issues we are looking for might include rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, wet rot, dry rot or woodworm. Our surveyors will use the latest tools and techniques to get to the bottom of any potential issues, identifying the source and the extent of the damage.
We can also provide an indication of the work required to put things right, which can help to inform the valuation of the property. For a single premium payment, you can also request Guarantee Protection Insurance, which will provide peace of mind for the future.
