Do I really need a home buyer report?
Securing home buyer reports and surveys is an essential part of the home buying process. This helps to protect your financial interests, and it can also be a requirement if you are applying for a mortgage. For properties in generally good condition, the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey is often recommended, but this won’t include a damp and timber guarantee.
The only way to enjoy peace of mind would be to secure your own survey to confirm the presence of damp. Discovering damp in a property doesn’t have to mean that you walk away, as there is often something that can be done to put things right. However, it’s important that this work is factored into the sale price, and that buyers are able to make an informed choice about whether they want to take on this work.
Importance of the home buyer report in Mitcham
Properties in Mitcham will always be at risk of developing a damp problem due to the climate and construction methods. Older properties are at increased risk, but these issues can also arise in new build properties, so it’s best not to assume that a property is safe. An enhanced disclosure home buyer report offers peace of mind to the prospective buyer that any damp issues have been disclosed. For sellers, it can also help to speed up the sale by improving transparency.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors will get to the bottom of any potential damp problem using the latest tools and techniques. We don’t just uncover the site of the issue, but also the source. This can help to inform a work plan that will outline what needs to take place in order to put things right. Armed with this information, buyers can approach price negotiations from a confident and informed position. Damp or timber damage doesn’t have to mean that you walk away, but it’s helpful to know what you are getting into.
What does a damp survey look for?
Our damp and timber guarantee survey goes beyond the visual inspection that is included with the standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report. We look for signs of damp damage, water ingress and association timber damage, including dry rot or woodworm. Alongside information about the presence of damp, we’ll also provide an indication of how much it will cost and how long it will take to put things right. A damp and timber report can also be used to confirm there is no damp problem for peace of mind.
