Why should I buy a home buyer report?
The home buyer report is an essential part of purchasing a property, and many lenders will make it a requirement and part of their affordability calculations. These reports help to disclose any potential issues with the property so that you are able to make an informed choice. It doesn’t have to stop the purchase, but it could help you to walk away from a home that is going to need a lot of work to reverse the damage done by water ingress. It’s not just the cost of repairing damp issues, but also the time, as it’s usually not an overnight fix.
As part of the buyer’s due diligence, we recommend commissioning a more advanced home buyer report. While the standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report is often recommended for properties that are in generally good condition, there are instances where a more extensive report looking specifically at damp and timber damage would be recommended. This will help to avoid missing hidden damage caused by rising damp, condensation or other types of water ingress.
Importance of the home buyer report in Acton
All homes in the Acton area are at risk of damp and timber damage due to the climate and construction methods. Damp problems can remain hidden for years, often only becoming obvious when the damage is more extensive. In many cases, the seller might not be aware they have been living with a damp problem, so it might be a surprise to them. While a damp proof course may be in place, these methods can fail over time.
With the help of our PCA-qualified surveyors, you can move forward with your purchase with complete confidence. Discovering damp in a home doesn’t have to mean that your dreams of owning the home need to end, but it could help you to negotiate a better price on the property, or to walk away if the damage is too extensive. Knowledge is power when it comes to important decisions about your home, and this particular knowledge could save you from having to pay to fix a damp problem.
What does a damp survey look for?
With a standard home buyer report, you’ll get a report on the general condition of the property following a visual inspection. We take this further by looking for the past and present signs of a damp problem. This could mean looking under floorboards, lifting carpets, or accessing crawl spaces. We also use the latest tools and techniques to understand the cause of damp problems, so we can also advise on the best methods to help put things right again.
