As part of your due diligence, it’s essential to properly survey the property to uncover any potential issues.

When do I need a home buyer report?
The process of securing home buyer reports is a standard part of the purchasing process. Lenders will often want to see evidence of these reports before they can make a lending decision as it informs their valuation of the property. Sellers can also provide them in advance if they want to reassure buyers and speed up the sales process. Buyers can also commission these reports to ensure no stone has been left unturned.
The most common form of home buyer report is the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey, which is the basic requirement for purchasing any property. However, this report can be limited as it does not typically disclose any issues related to damp or timber damage. This is why we always recommend getting a closer look with the help of our damp and timber guarantee. Get in touch today to arrange your home buyer survey.
Importance of the home buyer report in Cranleigh
Homes in the UK are often at risk of damp damage due to the climate and construction methods. Damp proofing is commonly used to keep rising damp and penetrating damp at bay, but these methods are known to break down over time. It isn’t always obvious when this happens, and the evidence might not be visible until the problem is far more widespread. This is why we recommend a home buyer survey that specifically looks for damp and timber damage.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors can help you to understand the extent of the issue, so you can make an informed choice about whether to move forward with the purchase. Since damp and timber damage can be costly to repair, you could save yourself the financial burden of discovering this issue too late. We can also offer Guarantee Protection Insurance for a single premium payment, offering complete peace of mind.
What does a damp survey look for?
With the standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report, surveyors are tasked with completing a visual inspection of the general condition of the property. If the signs are obvious and evident, they might recommend further inspection, but the early signs of damp are often missed. Our industry professionals will go above and beyond to uncover all signs of damp and timber damage in the property.
We’ll look for the common signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. This could mean lifting flooring, looking under carpets and investigating basement spaces. With this information to hand, you can make an informed choice about whether to move forward with your purchase.
