When do I need a home buyer report?

Everyone should secure some level of home buyer report as part of the purchase process. Many lenders will make this a requirement, as it helps to inform their valuation assessment and how much they are willing to lend. These reports also protect the buyer’s interests, as it means you will know if there will be any additional costs to think about after the sale is finalised. Some buyers will use this information to negotiate on the price, or to request that work is completed before the sale is finalised.

The standard report is known as the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey, and this is requested by most lenders. It helps to protect their financial interests, but it doesn’t provide full coverage and support for the buyer. To avoid unexpected surprises, make sure you protect your financial interests with a comprehensive damp and timber guarantee. We can help you to move forward with your property purchase with confidence that you have all of the information you need. 

Importance of the home buyer report in Sunbury-on-Thames

The majority of homes in the UK are at risk for damp due to construction methods and the unique climate. While measures are put in place to limit this risk, these are known to fail, and it might not always be obvious when they do. The earliest signs of damp aren’t always visible, which can leave you unaware of the issues until the damage has spread. This is why it is essential to secure a damp and timber report before purchasing a new home, as the current owner might not even be aware of it.

Our team of independent surveyors are Property Care Association (PCA) qualified, so they can provide a comprehensive report on the condition of your chosen property. They can look for signs of current damp problem, potential problems you might face in the future, and evidence of past problems that might not have been dealt with correctly. Armed with this information, you can make an informed choice about how to handle the property purchase. 

What’s included with a home buyer report?

The home buyer report from Tapco Homedry is tailored to damp and timber issues. We are looking at the condition of the property from a damp proofing perspective. Issues we might find include rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, wet rot, dry rot or woodworm.

While a standard Level 2 Home Buyer Survey might not look under carpets or lift the floorboards, we go above and beyond to uncover these issues. This report can also be covered with Guarantee Protection Insurance for a single insurance premium payment. Armed with this information, you can choose to negotiate on price, ask for work to be completed before the sale is finalised, or walk away from a bad investment.
