Do I really need a home buyer report?

The process of commissioning home buyer reports is an essential part of buying a house. It’s also a requirement if you are applying for a mortgage, as lenders want to know the true value of the property. For properties that are in generally good condition, the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report may be sufficient, but this does not include a damp and timber guarantee. Without this essential guarantee, you could be left footing the bill to fix a concealed damp problem.

The best way to enjoy peace of mind during the home buying process is to make sure that you know everything there is to know about the property. While the discovery of damp can be disheartening, it doesn’t have to mean the end of the road for this particular property. There is a lot that can be done to remedy the issue, but the important factor to remember is that you need to know about this before you purchase the home.

Importance of the home buyer report in Tooting

Properties in the Tooting area will always be at risk of water ingress, including rising damp and condensation problems, due to the climate, location and the construction methods. Most homes are protected with a damp proof course, but these measures can fail or home ventilation methods can be damaged over time. A damp problem can exist undiscovered in a property for years before the signs start to show.

With our home buyer report, you can enjoy complete confidence that the property is either free from damp, or you can use the vital information enclosed in the damp discovery report to make an informed choice. It’s not always about walking away, but it could help to strengthen your negotiating position. Alongside our report, we can also give you a realistic idea of how long you can expect to wait for a repair, and how much this will cost.

What does a damp survey look for?

Our damp and timber survey is simply looking for the signs of damp and timber damage in the home. Using our decades of experience, we’ll look in all the common places to uncover potential issues. We use the latest tools and techniques to identify the site of damage, and also the source. This information can also help to inform the process for repairing the damage. When there is no damp or timber damage, you’ll have complete peace of mind that no stone has been left unturned.
