Do I really need a home buyer report?
This is an essential part of the home purchasing process. It’s common for buyers to commission home buyer surveys to make sure they know exactly what they are buying. Lenders can also ask to see these reports, as it helps to inform their valuations, which will impact how much a buyer can borrow. Sellers can also commission these reports as a way to give reassurance and to speed up the sales process.
When a property appears to be in generally good condition, experts often recommend that an RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report will be sufficient, but this will often miss the hidden signs of damp and timber damage that could be widespread in the home. To help protect your financial interests and to avoid being left to foot the bill for damage that occurred long before you bought the property, it’s essential to dig a little deeper to uncover any potential signs of damage. Contact our team to secure your home buyer survey in Horley.
Importance of the home buyer report in Horley
Due to the climate and construction methods, homes throughout the UK will always be at risk of damp and moisture ingress. Damp proofing can help to keep these issues at bay, but these methods are also known to fail – often without warning. When damp proofing fails, it could be months or even years before there are obvious signs of a problem. When we uncover issues during a home buyer survey, the seller is often completely unaware.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors can help to uncover any potential issues, allowing you to make an informed choice about your next steps. Remember that damp doesn’t have to mean the end of the road for your property dreams. Damp can be dealt with, but there is a cost associated, so it’s all about deciding if you would like to shoulder this cost or walk away. You might use the information in our report to negotiate a better price on your purchase.
What does a damp survey look for?
Our surveyors are specifically looking for the signs of damp, water ingress and timber damage. This could include past, present and potential signs of damage. They’ll look for all of the signs of common issues, including rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot and dry rot. We’ll go beyond the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey and provide more than just a visual inspection. We lift carpets and look under floorboards to track down evidence of damp and timber damage, so you can more forward with confidence. And for a single premium payment, you can enjoy Guarantee Protection Insurance.
