When do I need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports and surveys are a common occurrence in the home purchasing process. They help to disclose information that might not be immediately obvious to the naked eye. With the standard home buyer report, you’ll get an overview of the general condition of the property. We recommend taking this further with a specialist survey that looks specifically at the presence of damp and timber damage.
If your standard RICS Level 2 Home Survey indicates there might be damp present in a property, it’s important to dig a little deeper to uncover the extent of the issue. With our help, you can go into the home buying process with all of the information you need to make an informed decision. Armed with all of the information, you might decide to renegotiate the price or walk away from a bad investment.
Importance of the home buyer report in Byfleet
All homes in the UK are at risk of damp and timber damage, even if they have damp proofing in place. Damp proofing can fail without warning, and the effects might not be immediately obvious. By the time the signs of damp are showing, the damage will already be widespread. It’s one of the hidden dangers that you need to look for during the home purchasing process, or you run the risk of being financially liable for repairs.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors can get to the heart of the issue and help you to understand the scope and scale of the issue. Our home buyer survey looks specifically for damage related to water ingress and timber damage. For added peace of mind, you can protect your survey with Guarantee Protection Insurance with a single premium payment. This will ensure there are no unexpected expenses further down the line. It can also help if you decide to sell the property within the guarantee window.


What does a damp survey look for?
During a damp survey, we go beyond the standard home buyer report and look for the common signs of damp and timber damage. A RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey delivers a visual report on the general condition of the property, but we take this further by getting to grips with the real condition of the property.
This could mean lifting floorboards and carpets or looking in crawl spaces and basements for the common signs of damp and timber damage. We can uncover issues related to rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more.
