Our PCA-qualified surveyors will go above and beyond to uncover potential issues with any property, so you can move forward with your purchase with complete confidence.
When do I need a home buyer report?
Securing homebuyer reports is an essential part of the purchasing process. These might be requested by the buyer to help reveal any issues that might be costly to fix further down the line. Lenders will often require this as part of the mortgage process, as it helps to confirm there is nothing that could impact the value of the property in the future. Sellers can also provide them to help offer reassurance and speed up a sale.
The standard home buyer report is the RICS Level 2 Home Survey. This delivers an overview of the visual condition of the property, but it won’t go into any depth about damp and timber issues, and it certainly doesn’t offer any guarantees related to these issues. Our report will go above and beyond to uncover potential problems related to damp, dry rot, wet rot, woodworm and more. Armed with this information, you’ll be in a much better position to negotiate.
Importance of the home buyer report in Tadworth
The majority of homes in the UK are at risk of damp due to the climate and weather conditions. Damp can quickly turn into timber damage if left untreated. And both issues can become structural – and expensive to fix. The signs of damp might not be obvious until it’s too late, which is why we recommend an in-depth survey to help uncover potential problems with a property before you sign on the dotted line.
We use the latest tools and industry-standard techniques to help uncover potential issues with a property, going beyond the standard home buyer survey and its purely visual inspection. We can also provide Guarantee Protection Insurance, which can be secured with a single premium payment. This information could help to inform your offer price, or it could help to spark negotiations to have work completed before the sale is finalised. In short, it protects you against unexpected surprises further down the line.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report is a specialist report looking specifically for the signs of damp or timber damage in a home. With this information, you’ll have a much more complete picture of the condition of the property. You might choose to adjust your offer, request work is completed before you purchase, or you might decide to walk away from a bad investment.
This damp and timber survey looks for the active signs of damp and timber damage along with the risk factors that could cause issues further down the line. We go beyond a visual inspection that would be standard with a RICS Home Buyer Survey and provide full disclosure on the condition of the property. This could mean lifting flooring, looking under carpets or exploring crawl spaces to find evidence of past or present damp issues.
