Do I really need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports are an essential part of the home buying process. Not only do they help buyers understand the condition of the property, they are also used by lenders to determine the true value of the property. No one wants to be caught out by unexpected damage that has to be repaired after the sale has been finalised, so it’s in your best interests to commission the right surveys to uncover potential problems with the property.
Common advice is that the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report should be sufficient if the property is in generally good condition. However, this type of report will often miss damp if it isn’t clearly visible, leaving buyers vulnerable if they move forward assuming that this means there is no damp. We go further than the typical home buyer survey, lifting carpets, looking under floorboards and in crawl spaces for the telltale signs of damp and timber damage.
Importance of the home buyer report in Morden
Properties throughout London, and in the Morden area, are always at risk of developing damp. This is due to the local climate, the high water table and construction methods. While most homes in the UK are protected with a damp proof course, these methods are known to fail, often without any obvious warning signs. If this happens, it could be years before the damage is visible, which puts buyers at risk of taking on properties with concealed damage.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors can get to the bottom of any damp and timber problem, uncovering not just the site of the problem but also the source. Discovering damp in a property doesn’t have to mean the end of your plans to purchase the home. The information contained within our report could help to influence the negotiations, allowing you to feel confident that the issue is going to be addressed sufficiently before making you make the property your home.
What does a damp survey look for?
We use the latest tools and techniques to uncover any potential damage related to damp and water ingress, along with timber damage such as dry rot or woodworm. We go beyond the visual inspection included with the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report and give prospective buyers the information they need to make an informed decision. This insight could help to protect your financial interests and allow you to walk away from properties with extensive damp and timber damage.
