Do I really need a home buyer report?
Securing home buyer reports and surveys is an essential part of buying a home, and it is often a requirement if you are applying for a mortgage to fund the purchase. Lenders want to know that any potential issues with the property have been disclosed, as this could impact the value of the home. For homes in generally good condition, common advice is often that the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report will be sufficient, but this report will not cover the presence of damp or timber damage.
With our home buyer report, you’ll get advanced insight into the presence of damp or timber damage in the property. While the RICS report might only provide a visual inspection, we go further by looking under carpets, lifting flooring and exploring crawl spaces. This level of detail is essential to uncover a damp problem, as the issue is often very well hidden until the damage is more extensive.
Importance of the home buyer report in Wimbledon
Properties throughout Wimbledon are at risk of developing damp due to the climate, age of properties and construction methods. Most homes are protected from rising damp with a damp proof course, but issues can arise when a DPC is damaged or fails. When this happens, damage can occur out of sight, and it could be years before the issue comes to light. If you want to avoid footing the bill for a concealed damp problem, it’s essential to request a home buyer report with a damp and timber guarantee.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors will go above and beyond to uncover any potential issues with damp in your chosen property. Learning that a property has a damp problem doesn’t always mean that you walk away from the purchase, but it could help to put you in a strong negotiating position. Alongside a damp report, we can also guide you on how much it will cost and how long it will take to put things right.
What does a damp survey look for?
With a specialist damp and timber survey, we’re looking for the signs of past and present water damage in a home. We go beyond the visual inspection of a standard home buyer report and provide more insight into the condition of a property. We use the latest tools and techniques to not only identify damp, but also provide a probable cause. This insight can be useful for determining if it’s worth continuing with the purchase, or if you should walk away.
