Home Buyer Report Fulham
In the process of purchasing a property in Fulham? Don’t make this important decision until you know exactly what you are dealing with. If the property doesn’t have a damp and timber guarantee, you could be opening yourself up to unnecessary risk. With our extended home buyer report, you can enjoy complete peace of mind that all damp issues have been disclosed before you finalise the purchase. Get in touch with Tapco Homedry today to learn more and to book your home buyer survey in Fulham.
Why should I buy a home buyer report?
Requesting a home buyer report is an essential part of purchasing a new home. This report not only helps buyers to feel confident, but it is also often a requirement for lenders, as it will help to confirm the true value of the property. When a home is in generally good condition, it’s often recommended that a standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report will suffice, but this could miss out important information about the presence of damp or timber damage.
For complete peace of mind, we recommend an extended damp and timber guarantee from Tapco Homedry. This will help to uncover any potential issues related to rising damp, moisture ingress and associated damage to the structure of the property. Remember that sellers might be completely unaware that they have been living with a damp problem, and a standard home buyer report is unlikely to catch this.
Importance of the home buyer report in Fulham
Properties in the Fulham area are at increased risk of developing damp and timber damage due to the climate, construction methods and age of the buildings in the area. A home might seem fine from the outside, but there could be extensive damage waiting to be discovered. It’s far better to know about this damage before you move in, as it can help you to make an informed decision about the purchase.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors can visit the property and complete a thorough investigation with the sole purpose of uncovering damp or timber damage. The discovery of damp or timber damage doesn’t have to mean that you walk away, but it could impact the value of the property. This could help to influence the purchase price, or you might use this information to request that work is completed before the sale is finalised. In some cases, you may decide it’s better to walk away.
What does a damp survey look for?
The standard home buyer report provides a visual inspection of the property and looks for obvious signs of structural damage such as subsidence. Our report goes beyond this to help uncover potential issues related to damp, condensation, water ingress or hidden plumbing leaks. These could lead to unpleasant conditions in the property and they might not be immediately obvious to residents. Alongside our damp and timber report, we can also advise on how much it will cost to put things right so you can make an informed choice about your future home or investment property.
