Home Buyer Report Ashtead
Thinking about purchasing property in Ashtead? Before you make a final decision, make sure you know exactly what you are purchasing with the help of a damp and timber guarantee. This specialist and in-depth home buyer report will bring peace of mind to the purchasing process, allowing you to move forward with the sale, confident that there are no hidden dangers lurking in the home. With our help, you can avoid bad investments and ensure everything is fully disclosed before finalising a sale.
When do I need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports are a standard part of the purchasing process. They are often required in order to secure a mortgage. With a standard home buyer report, you’ll get a visual inspection of the general condition of the property. This can be helpful, but it might miss hidden signs of damp, particularly if they aren’t visible to the naked eye. To protect your interests, we recommend a specialist damp and timber survey to help avoid any unexpected surprises.
The standard RICS Level 2 Home Survey will only cover so much. If you want to know exactly what you are dealing with, you need to dig a little deeper. Tapco Homedry can help you to protect your financial interests and uncover past, present and potential issues related to damp and timber damage. This will allow you to either move forward with the sale, negotiate the price or walk away from a bad investment.
Importance of the home buyer report in Ashtead
Homes throughout Ashtead will be at risk of damp and timber damage due to the climate and common construction methods. Most homes have some damp proofing protection, but these methods are known to fail over time. If this happens, the signs of damp might not become apparent until the damage is widespread. For buyers, this presents a unique challenge. If you want peace of mind that damp is not present in a property, you need a specialist home buyer report.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors use the latest tools and techniques to get to the bottom of damp and timber issues. With our home buyer survey, you’ll have an in-depth view of the property and its condition. We can also offer Guarantee Protection Insurance for a single premium payment, offering peace of mind that there will be no hidden surprises further down the line. With our help, you can move forward with the purchase process with complete confidence.
What does a damp survey look for?
With our home buyer report, we look for the signs of damp, condensation problems and timber damage. While the standard Level 2 Home Buyer Survey might look at the overall condition of the property, our survey digs deeper to better understand the condition of the property.
We’ll look for the signs of damp and timber damage, including looking at the risk factors present in the property. We’ll look for signs of common issues like rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. This might mean looking under floorboards or investigating basement or cellar spaces. Our survey is more in-depth than the standard home buyer survey.
