Home Buyer Report Horsham
Thinking about purchasing property in Horsham? Before you make an offer, it’s important to understand exactly what you’re buying. A home buyer report from Tapco Homedry gives you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward. Our reports go beyond surface-level checks to uncover signs of damp and problems with timber structures that might otherwise be missed.
What is a home buyer report?
Before you purchase a new home, you need to know what lies ahead of you. Requesting various surveys of the home will help to fill in the gaps and uncover potential problems. Armed with this information, you can make an informed decision about whether to move forward with the purchase or walk away. Damp and timber damage might not be obvious to the untrained eye, which is where our team of Property Care Association (PCA) qualified surveyors can help.
To protect yourself from the risk of purchasing a property with hidden damp or timber damage, we recommend securing your own survey. If you move forward without this information, you could be left footing the bill for damages that occurred before you purchased the property. With all of the information available, you can make an informed choice about the home and decide if you should move forward with the purchase.
Importance of the home buyer report in Horsham
A home buyer report is a crucial step when purchasing property. Many mortgage lenders require a Level 2 Home Buyer Report, which provides a general overview of the condition of the property. These reports often look at structural issues such as subsidence, Japanese knotweed, or roof defects, but they often miss damp and timber damage if it isn’t obvious to the naked eye. For example, this type of report wouldn’t typically look under flooring.
Tapco Homedry’s specialist home buyer report focuses specifically on damp problems and timber damage, which are two of the most costly issues to repair post-purchase. We inspect both above and below ground areas for signs of damp, and check for timber issues including wet rot, dry rot, and woodworm. All surveys are carried out by a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified expert, so you can move forward with confidence.


What’s included with a home buyer report?
A specialist report of this kind will go above and beyond to uncover issues with damp, including basement damp and rising damp. We’ll also cover the timber structures and look for signs of damage that could be costly and inconvenient to fix at a later date. We can also explore risk factors present in the property, so you can decide if you want to take on the risk of a property that is prone to damp.
With our help, nothing will be left to chance during your new home purchase. We can help to protect your financial interests while ensuring that you have all of the relevant information you need when you make an investment of this size. Buyers can use this information to negotiate a better price, ask for repairs to be completed before purchase, or to walk away when the damage is too extensive and expensive.
