Do I really need a home buyer report?
Securing home buyer reports is an essential part of the home buying process. If you are applying for a mortgage, the lender is likely to want to see a survey as part of their home valuation. This helps to protect the lender from loss should the home suffer from structural damage – but what about the homeowner? Damp and timber damage could be lurking out of sight and only be discovered after you have moved in. At this point, you’ll be fully liable for the cost of repairs.
While the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report might raise the issue of damp if this is obvious from a visual inspection, a surveyor completing this type of report won’t go looking for it. For this kind of disclosure, you would need to enlist the help of a damp expert like Tapco Homedry. Our reports can help you to avoid the financial risks associated with taking on a property with a concealed damp problem. Get in touch today to find out how we can help protect your financial interests.
Importance of the home buyer report in Barnes
If you’re looking for a home in the Barnes area, be aware that homes in this region are at risk of developing damp and associated timber problems. This is due to the climate and construction methods. Both old and new homes are vulnerable to this kind of damage, so don’t assume that a new build will be immune. Most properties will have a damp proof course, but these can fail or become damaged over the years, leading to a hidden damp problem.
With the help of our home buyer report, you can enjoy peace of mind that your chosen property is either free from damp, or that you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision. You don’t always have to walk away from a property with a damp problem, but it could help to inform the negotiating process to make the asking price more fair.
What does a damp survey look for?
With our damp and timber survey, you can enjoy complete peace of mind that all traces of damp and water ingress have been uncovered. While a standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report might only look for the obvious signs of damp, we look under floorboards and in crawl spaces to uncover any potential issues with the property. We can also provide a cost and time estimate to put things right, which can help to put you in the strongest possible position to negotiate on the price.
