When do I need a home buyer report?
Home buyer reports and surveys are an essential part of the decision making process. These reports help to disclose more than would be available to an untrained professional. Lenders might ask to see a home buyer survey before they make a decision on how much you can borrow, as this is essential for protecting their financial interests. Sellers can also provide guarantees to help inspire confidence and speed up the process.
The standard survey is known as the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey. This is an essential survey to secure, but it’s not the only one available. If you’re concerned about the hidden risk of damp and timber damage, you can dig a little deeper with a damp and timber survey from Tapco Homedry. This simple step can help to uncover damage that would be costly to fix further down the line and will protect you from unnecessary financial risk.
Importance of the home buyer report in Virginia Water
All homes are at risk of damage from damp in the UK. This is due to the climate and construction methods. While damp proofing is often used to protect against moisture ingress, these methods are known to fail. If this happens, the damage might not be obvious until it is widespread. These issues are often missed by a standard home buyer survey, so it’s important to take the extra step of going beyond a visual inspection.
With the help of our PCA-qualified surveyors, you can enjoy peace of mind during the property purchase process. This report will disclose everything you need to know in relation to the presence of damp and timber damage, so you’ll be able to make a purchase decision from an informed position. With a single premium payment, you can also secure Guarantee Protection Insurance, which offers peace of mind for now and in the future.


What does a damp survey look for?
The standard RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report will stop at a simple visual inspection, which means that structural issues related to damp and timber are often missed. With our survey, we’ll use our industry expertise to uncover the signs of past, present and potential issues.
This could mean looking under floorboards, lifting carpet, or looking in cellars for signs of damp damage and water ingress. We’ll commonly look for signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. This information can help you to make an informed decision about your property purchase.
