When do I need a home buyer report?
Everyone in the process of purchasing a property can benefit from a damp and timber guarantee. Home buyer reports and surveys are a standard part of the home buying process, and can help to ensure you get a fair price for a property. It can also help you to make a decision to walk away if the financial risk is too high. While the standard home buyer report will reveal a lot about the home, issues related to damp and timber damage are commonly missed.
The standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey is a basic requirement for most property purchases. Lenders may request this survey in order to protect their financial interests. Sellers can also commission surveys ahead of putting their home on the market as a way to speed up the sales process. Buyers can also commission the surveys they would like to see in order to make an informed decision – we recommend adding our damp and timber report to your list.
Importance of the home buyer report in Bagshot
The majority of homes in the UK are at risk of damage from damp and related timber damage. This is due to the climate, weather conditions and construction methods. While damp proofing helps to deliver some protection, this isn’t always sufficient and these methods are known to fail without warning. When this happens, it could be months or even years before the problem becomes evident. In many cases, sellers are completely unaware of the damp problem when they are trying to sell.
With the help of our PCA-qualified surveyors, we can get to the heart of any potential damp issues and provide insight into the extent of the issue, and the work required to put things right. This will enable you to make an informed choice about your purchase and even walk away if the financial risk is too high. With a single premium payment, you can also enjoy Guarantee Protection Insurance. This will give you peace of mind as you move forward with the purchase.
What does a damp survey look for?
With the standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report, the goal is to provide a visual inspection of the general condition of the property. We take this further by looking for the signs of past, present and potential damp problems. We look for signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. This could mean lifting floorboards or looking under carpets. If there is a basement or cellar, this will also be included in our inspection. The goal is to provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision.
