Do I really need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports and surveys are an essential part of the home buying process. Buyers often commission them in order to get a comprehensive view of the condition of the property. Lenders will also request them as this will help to inform their valuation of the property, and therefore how much they are willing to lend. Sellers can also provide surveys as a way to help speed up the sales process.
If a property appears to be in generally good condition, you might be told that a RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report is sufficient for your needs. It’s important to note that this will provide a visual inspection of the general condition of the property and might not uncover damp and timber damage unless they are very obvious. To help protect your financial interests, it’s vital to secure a damp and timber survey, as this is the only way to know for sure if there are issues lurking out of sight.

Importance of the home buyer report in Oxted
Homes throughout the UK are at risk of damp and timber damage due to the climate and construction methods. Damp proofing helps to keep moisture ingress at bay, but when these measures fail, it might not be obvious for months or even years. The signs of damp can spread and exist out of sight for a long time. When we discover damp or timber damage in a property, the homeowner is often completely unaware.
With the help of our PCA-qualified surveyors, we can uncover any potential issues so that you can make an informed choice about your property purchase. Damp in a home doesn’t have to mean that you need to walk away. It can be very manageable, but it’s best to have all of the facts before you make a decision on whether to move forward. If you decide you don’t want to deal with the issue, it could help you to walk away from an unsuitable property. With a single premium payment, your survey can also be covered by Guarantee Protection Insurance.
What does a damp survey look for?
With our home buyer report, our surveyors are looking for the signs of past, present or potential damp and timber issues. They’re looking for the signs of water ingress and associated damage. Damp and timber problems can occur in many forms, including rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot and dry rot. We go beyond the visual inspection to deliver an in-depth understanding of the condition of the property. We’ll look under flooring and in basement spaces, which often isn’t covered by a home buyer report.
