When do I need a home buyer report?
The process of securing home buyer reports and surveys is an essential part of buying a new home. This simple step will help to uncover issues that you might not be aware of. This process is commonly requested by lenders as part of their valuation and final decision on how much you can borrow. And finally, sellers can also request surveys in order to speed up the sale process and reassure buyers. In short, home buyer reports are useful for everyone involved.
The most common report is the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey, and this is often recommended for modern properties that are presumed to be in generally good condition. The risk with this level of investigation is that it can miss a lot of issues, including damp and timber damage. For complete peace of mind, we recommend securing a damp and timber guarantee before moving forward with your home purchase.
Importance of the home buyer report in Egham
Properties throughout the UK are often at risk of damp due to construction methods and the wet climate. While there are measures in place to protect against damp, these methods can fail, and it isn’t always obvious to the residents when they do. It’s usually not until the damp problem has spread and become much more problematic that the signs of damp are visible. The existing owner might not even know that they have a damp issue.
This is where our team of independent surveyors come in. They can quickly get to the heart of the issue and give you a better understanding of the damage already present and what it will take to fix the issue. This insight will allow you to make an informed decision about how to move forward. You might use it to negotiate a better price, to request repairs are completed before the sale is completed, or to walk away from a bad investment.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
While a standard home buyer report is a visual inspection of the property, this can miss some key aspects of damp and timber damage, simply because they aren’t visible to the naked eye. Issues we might look for include rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, wet rot, dry rot or woodworm.
Our surveyors go beyond the standard home buyer survey to look for the signs of damp under carpets and below flooring. They might also look in basements or crawl spaces for signs of timber damage. Alongside our comprehensive report, we can also give an indication of the work required to put things right. And with a single single premium payment, you can also request Guarantee Protection Insurance.
