Do I really need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports are an essential part of the purchase process and help to ensure that you know exactly what you are buying. Most lenders will require a certain level of disclosure as part of the mortgage process, and buyers can also benefit from additional disclosure. It’s common for buyers to commission a range of home buyer reports in order to bring them peace of mind, and these reports can also have an impact on lending decisions.
For properties that are in generally good condition, popular advice is to secure an RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report as an absolute minimum. There are limitations to this report, as it doesn’t include a damp survey. This type of survey will look for the obvious signs of damp, but anything concealed or less obvious could be missed. This is why we recommend that prospective buyers protect their interests with a comprehensive damp and timber report from Tapco Homedry.
Importance of the home buyer report in Ealing
All homes in the UK are at risk of damp and water damage due to climate and construction methods. Damp proofing may be used to address these risks, but these measures are known to fail or become overwhelmed. If there is a failure, the homeowner might not become aware until months or even years down the line. In many cases where damp is discovered during the purchase process, the seller is not aware of the issue.
With the help of our PCA-qualified surveyors, you can go into the purchase process with confidence that all potential damp and water ingress issues have been uncovered. We use the latest tools and techniques to go above and beyond to understand the condition of a property. This type of survey offers more insight than the standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report. If damage is found, we can give you an idea of how much it will cost to put things right, which can strengthen your negotiating position.
What does a damp survey look for?
During our damp and timber survey, we look for signs of water ingress, damp and timber damage. This could include early evidence of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, poor insulation, wet rot, dry rot and more. We don’t just carry out a visual inspection, as this can often miss the most important factors. Our investigation goes further, looking under carpets, in crawl spaces and under floorboards to help us to better understand the condition of the home. Armed with this information, you can make the right choice about whether the property is right for you.
