When do I need a home buyer report?
Securing home buyer reports and surveys is a standard part of purchasing a property. It helps to uncover any potential issues that could impact the value of the property. Buyers will commission surveys to ensure they aren’t left footing the bill for undisclosed issues. Lenders will also ask to see surveys before making a mortgage decision, as this could impact the valuation of the property. It’s also possible for sellers to commission surveys in an effort to speed up the sale.
The most common home buyer survey is the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report. This is a multi-point inspection that provides a visual report on the general condition of the property. If there are obvious signs of damp, the surveyor might recommend further inspection, but these signs aren’t always obvious. Rather than assuming that everything is fine, we recommend giving yourself complete peace of mind with the help of our home buyer survey.
Importance of the home buyer report in Frimley
Homes throughout the UK are at risk of damp and water ingress due to the climate and construction methods. While damp proofing is standard in all new properties, and has been retrofitted to older properties, these methods can fail over time. If this happens, signs of the damage might not be evident for a long time. In many cases, sellers are completely unaware of a damp issue when they put their property on the market.
With the help of our PCA-qualified property surveyors, we can help to get to the heart of your damp and timber issue before you sign on the dotted line. We’ll go beyond the standard home buyer survey to find evidence of past or present issues with damp and timber damage. We can also give you an indication of how much you can expect this to cost to put right. Armed with this information, you’ll be in a much better position to approach negotiations – or you might choose to walk away from a bad investment.
What does a damp survey look for?
With the damp and timber survey, we’re looking for signs of damp and water ingress in all of its forms. This could include rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. The RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report will only go so far in providing a visual inspection of the general condition of the property, but we go above and beyond to uncover all potential problems. We provide peace of mind throughout the home buying process.
