Home Buyer Report Sevenoaks
Thinking about buying a home in Sevenoaks? If this property doesn’t have a damp and timber guarantee in place, you could be leaving yourself open to additional risk.

What is a home buyer report?
A home buyer report gives you peace of mind that you know exactly what you are purchasing. There are different types of home buyer reports available depending on the purpose of the report. For example, most lenders will want to see a Level 2 Home Buyers Report, which will look for signs of hidden problems like roof damage or subsidence. These reports can be used to determine the value of the home and will allow lenders to make a decision on how much you can borrow.
These reports could miss out factors like damp or timber damage as they aren’t designed to look for these problems. If you are purchasing a property in an area where you know damp is a risk, it’s worth investigating further. You can also request an in-depth damp and timber report if you have spotted the signs of damp during your viewing. Armed with this information, you can make an informed decision about whether to purchase the property.
Issues uncovered by a home buyers report
Before you can decide if you want to put in an offer on a property, you need to know what you are getting into. The only way to achieve this is by having all of the information. It will help you to control the risk of taking on a property with hidden issues like damp or timber damage. It can help you to negotiate a better price on the home, or to walk away if the damage is too extensive.
While standard reports offer some insight into the integrity of the home, only a specialist report from a Property Care Association (PCA) qualified surveyor will give you the full insight that you need. We can also offer additional protection and peace of mind with Guarantee Protection Insurance (GPI), which is available with a single premium payment. This will give you peace of mind that you know exactly what to expect with the property.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
A standard home buyer report would not typically look for signs of damp beyond the visible. Surveyors won’t lift carpets or look under floorboards, but our survey is different. We help to uncover all issues before you buy the home, so you won’t be caught off guard by unexpected repairs after the sale is completed. This information may be used to negotiate a better price or to secure repairs before the work is completed.
If you’re purchasing a home in Sevenoaks, don’t leave anything to chance. Make sure you are fully aware of any potential issues or risk factors present so you can make an informed decision.
