Home Buyer Report Ewell
Considering purchasing property in Ewell? Before you make this important decision, make sure you know exactly what you are getting into. Our in-depth damp and timber report will give you all of the information you need to know about your investment, so you can decide if you want to move forward, renegotiate or walk away.
When do I need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports and surveys are an essential part of the purchasing process. These essential reports help you to better understand the condition of the property and what you are getting yourself into. Buyers can request them to confirm the state of the property and to find out about any issues that might be expensive to fix further down the line. Lenders will also require these reports as part of the decision making process so they can protect their interests.
The standard home buyer report is the RICS Level 2 Home Survey, which covers a visual inspection of the condition of the property. If there are obvious signs of damp, you might investigate further, but this isn’t always guaranteed. Our specialist damp and timber survey will give you the peace of mind knowing that you are fully aware of any past, present and potential issues facing the property. With this information on your side, you’ll be in a better negotiating position.
Importance of the home buyer report in Ewell
Most homes in the UK are at risk of damage from damp and condensation due to the weather and construction methods. Damp can also lead to structural timber damage if left untreated. These signs might not be obvious to the naked eye, which could leave you with an expensive bill to put things right further down the line. By getting ahead of these issues, you can uncover potential problems before you agree to purchase a property.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors will use the latest tools and techniques to help uncover potential problems. We go above and beyond the standard home buyer survey to give prospective buyers greater insight into the condition of the property. With a single premium payment, you can also enjoy Guarantee Protection Insurance for added peace of mind. This information might help you to negotiate a better purchase price, request that work is carried out before the sale is completed, or it might encourage you to walk away from a bad investment.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report is looking specifically at the signs of damp and timber damage in a property. This should be commissioned alongside other surveys that look at the general condition of the home. We’ll look for signs of past, present and potential issues with the property related to damp and timber damage. This could include rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, dry rot, wet rot and woodworm. We’ll explore as far as we need to in order to access parts of the property that are most at risk. This could include lifting carpets and checking under flooring for signs of damage.
