Home Buyer Report Mortlake
Thinking about buying property in Mortlake? Before you make a final decision, make sure that you know exactly what you are buying. If the home does not have a damp and timber guarantee, you could be risking financial loss if this is discovered after you have moved in. For peace of mind, we recommend a home damp survey to uncover any potential issues with the home. Get in touch with our team today to arrange your home buyer report in Mortlake.
Do I really need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports are an essential part of the home buying process, particularly if you are applying for a mortgage. Lenders will want to see a report that confirms the condition of the property, as this protects them from financial loss in the event there is a structural issue with the home that impacts the value of the home. Lenders protect themselves, and so should you. With a damp and timber guarantee, you’ll enjoy peace of mind that any potential issues have been uncovered prior to exchanging contracts.
The RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report is often recommended as a bare minimum to ensure there are no structural problems with the home, but this doesn’t include uncovering damp issues. With our help, you can move forward with confidence, knowing that any potential damp issues have been disclosed. Sellers can also speed up the process and improve transparency by offering a damp and timber guarantee upfront. Get in touch today to learn more.
Importance of the home buyer report in Mortlake
Properties in the Mortlake area will always be at risk of damp and timber damage due to the climate and common construction methods. Remember that it’s not just old properties that are at risk, and new builds can also develop problems with damp. While the majority of properties have a damp proof course as minimum, these measures are known to fail, and it could be years before the damage is visible. It’s often the case that sellers are completely unaware they have an issue with damp.
If you want to protect yourself from the hidden damage of damp, we recommend a damp and timber guarantee from Tapco Homedry. This comprehensive report will go beyond the usual visual inspection to provide you with the information you need to know to make an informed decision. You don’t have to walk away from a property with damp, but bringing this information to light could help to inform the negotiating process.
What does a damp survey look for?
Our damp and timber survey can bring you peace of mind during the home purchase process. We go beyond the information included in the standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report to ensure that we can say with confidence if there is damp in the property. We look under flooring and in crawl spaces to find the common signs of damp. Alongside our assessment, we can also give you an indication of how much it will cost and how long it will take to put things right. This information can help you to make an informed choice about whether to move forward or walk away.
