When do I need a home buyer report?
Every buyer should be looking at home buyer reports before making a final decision. Many lenders will ask to see a standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey before making a lending decision, as this will help to reduce their financial risk. Buyers can also commission enhanced reports if they are concerned about the presence of things like damp and timber damage in a home.
We recommend taking this extra step, as the standard survey will not provide any guarantees in regard to damp and associated damage. Our report will go beyond the standard home buyer report to uncover any potential issues related to damp and timber damage, which are two issues that could be expensive to fix further down the line. To avoid unnecessary financial risk, we recommend securing a damp survey from Tapco Homedry before finalising your property purchase.
Importance of the home buyer report in Godalming
All homes in the UK are at risk of damp and timber damage, including those in Godalming. The climate and weather conditions mean that homes need to be protected from rising damp. When these measures fail, water ingress can lead to widespread damage. These problems aren’t always visible during a standard home buyer survey, since this will often provide a visual inspection of the general condition of a property,
Our PCA-qualified surveyors can help to get to the heart of the issue and help you to understand the scope of the damage so you can make an informed decision about the property. For added peace of mind, you can also purchase Guarantee Protection Insurance with a single premium payment. This can protect you against unexpected costs further down the road. If you decide to sell the property on, you can also reassure buyers with this kind of damp guarantee.
What does a damp survey look for?
A standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report will only provide a visual inspection of the general condition of the property, which means that important factors can be missed. During our damp and timber survey, we’ll look for common signs of water ingress and damp-related damage in the property. This might mean lifting floorboards, looking under carpets and exploring under the house. This will help us to uncover any potential issues related to rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. Armed with this information, you might choose to renegotiate the price or walk away from a bad investment.
