Home Buyer Report Cobham
Thinking about buying a home in Cobham? Before moving forward with your property purchase, make sure you have a complete picture of the condition of the home. Hidden damp or timber issues could leave you open to financial risk in the long term. With the help of Tapco Homedry, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing exactly what you are getting yourself into. With our help, you can negotiate the best possible price for your new home and move forward with all of the information.
What is a home buyer report?
The home buyer report is an essential part of the purchase process. Independent surveyors will visit the property and provide a report on the condition of the property and potential issues. This can help buyers decide if they want to move forward, while also giving lenders insight into the condition of the property so they can make a decision on the valuation. The most common type of home buyer report is the Level 2 Home Buyer Report, which is best suited to modern properties in relatively good condition.
The limitation of this report is that it could miss damp and timber damage as it isn’t designed to look for these factors. You might not discover these issues until after the purchase is complete, at which point you will be financially liable for the repairs. If you’re concerned about the possibility of damp and timber in a property you are in the process of purchasing, it’s helpful to secure a damp and timber guarantee for added peace of mind.
Importance of the home buyer report in Cobham
Homes throughout the UK are at increased risk of damp due to the weather conditions and the climate. Damp related issues could include rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation. Damp can also lead to timber damage, including dry rot, wet rot and woodworm. With the help of our damp and timber surveys, you can make an informed decision about your home purchase.
Tapco Homedry has a team of specialist surveyors who will carry out an extensive review of any property. This survey goes beyond the basics, often looking under carpets, lifting floorboards and exploring crawl spaces for signs of past and present damp damage. These could be issues that the homeowner is completely unaware of, or they might be issues they are hoping go by unnoticed. With all of the information at your disposal, you can make a decision to walk away or negotiate on the price to account for the additional work.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report goes beyond what is available in the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey. Our surveyors are trained in damp and timber damage, so they know exactly what to look for and where to look. They are qualified to Property Care Association (PCA) standards, which means they can deliver additional insight into the condition of the property.
Lenders might be satisfied with a Level 2 Home Buyer Survey as this covers their financial interests, but the buyer could be left with expensive repairs if they purchase a property with a hidden damp problem. That’s where we come in. With our help, you can purchase your new home with confidence.
