Do I really need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports are an essential part of buying a home, particularly if you are applying for a mortgage. The home buyer report helps to confirm the value of the property, so lenders can protect their own interests. If a home is in generally good condition, then you might be able to apply for a mortgage with just the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report. For added peace of mind, we recommend also requesting a damp and timber report to help uncover any hidden damage.
Our home buyer report is specifically designed to look for signs of water ingress, including rising damp, condensation or associated timber damage from wet rot or dry rot. These issues can remain hidden for years, at which point the damage will be extensive and more costly to put right. Most sellers are completely unaware they have been living with a hidden damp problem.
Importance of the home buyer report in Putney
Properties in London, and particularly in Putney, are always at risk of developing damp problems. On visual inspection, a property might seem completely fine, and this is why damp damage is often missed in a standard home buyer report. These surveyors will not look under carpets or in crawl spaces to seek out the signs of damp. If you would like to know exactly what you are buying before you make a final decision, a damp and timber report can help to strengthen your negotiating position.
Our PCA-qualified surveyors will go above and beyond to uncover any potential issues related to damp or timber damage. Discovery damp doesn’t have to mean that you walk away, but this knowledge can help you to make an informed decision about what to do next. It could help to influence the purchase price, or you could request that work is carried out before the sale is completed.
What does a damp survey look for?
A specialist damp and timber survey is looking for the signs of past and present water ingress. It goes beyond the visual inspection of the standard home buyer report and helps to uncover potential issues. We’ll use the latest tools and techniques to not just identify the site of damage, but also the likely cause. This can help to inform repair costs, which can be vital for negotiating a fair price. Armed with this information, you’ll be able to decide if you want to walk away or continue with the purchase.
