When do I need a home buyer report?
Arranging home buyer reports is an essential part of the purchasing process. They might be requested by your lender as a way to minimise their financial risk and help to determine the value of the property. Sellers can also benefit from surveys if they would like to increase transparency and speed up the sale. But it is buyers who stand to benefit the most from home buyer surveys. With this information, you can make an informed decision about whether to move forward with the purchase.
The most common type of home buyer report is the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey. This is recommended for modern homes that are thought to be in generally good condition. The risk with this type of survey is that it can miss common issues related to damp and timber in the home. These issues might not be obvious until after the sale is completed, and you’ll be fully liable for the repairs.
Importance of the home buyer report in Addlestone
Homes throughout the Addlestone region are at risk of damp due to the common construction methods used and the local climate. Wet conditions mean your home is at increased risk for damp and timber damage. The early signs of damp are not visible to the naked eye, and the present owner might not be aware that this is an issue. You might only discover the damp problem further down the line when the sale is completed.
This is where our team of independent surveyors can help. They will go beyond visual inspections to deliver an in-depth report into the condition of the property. This information could help to inform your next steps, allowing you to renegotiate the price, request work is completed before the sale goes through, or walk away from a bad investment. The purpose of the home buyer report is to ensure that you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
The standard home buyer report recommended by many lenders is only a visual inspection of the property. It makes assumptions about the condition of the home, so problems like damp and timber damage will commonly be missed. We go above and beyond to uncover issues related to damp and timber damage in the property, so you know exactly what you are getting into.
Our surveyors are looking for signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, wet rot, dry rot or woodworm. We’ll look below carpet and flooring, which is far beyond the scope of a visual inspection. This information is delivered in a report that will also give an indication of the work required to put things right. And for a single premium payment, you can also request Guarantee Protection Insurance.
