Home Buyer Report Walton-on-Thames
Thinking about purchasing property in Walton-on-Thames? Before you make any final decisions and sign on the dotted line, it’s important that you know exactly what you are purchasing. A standard Home Buyer Survey will only tell you so much and makes assumptions that the property is in a generally good condition. With the support of our Property Care Association (PCA) qualified surveyors, you can enjoy peace of mind that your new home is free from damp and timber damage.
When do I need a home buyer report?
Home buyers reports or home buyers surveys are commonly used by the buyer to help uncover any potential issues with a property. Lenders might also want to see a report before making a decision on the valuation of the property and how much you can borrow. It’s also possible for sellers to commission a report to give extra reassurance in terms of transparency and openness.
Every property purchase should include some level of survey to consider the condition of the structure. There are different levels of reporting available, and we recommend including a damp and timber survey to enjoy peace of mind that there are no issues lurking and waiting to be discovered. With a single premium payment, you can also enjoy Guarantee Protection Insurance (GPI) on your guarantee. This offers peace of mind that you won’t run into problems with the property further down the line.
Importance of the home buyer report in Walton-on-Thames
Homes throughout the UK are susceptible to damp due to the weather conditions and the climate. While modern homes have measures in place to protect against damp, these are known to fail over time. When this happens, the signs might not be evident until much later, at which point it can be more expensive to remedy. Homeowners might not know they have a damp problem when the time comes to sell, or they might be hoping it goes unnoticed.
Our surveyors can help to ensure you have a comprehensive picture of the quality of the property you are purchasing. You might use this information to negotiate a better price, or to secure repairs before the sale goes through. It could also help you to walk away from a property that has extensive damage that would be expensive to fix. Our surveyors can help to uncover hidden issues that might not be brought to light with a standard home buyer survey.


What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report is a specialist report that focuses on a specific area regarding the condition of a property. We look for the presence of damp and timber damage related to damp. This information can help to create a more complete picture of the condition of the property and any potential risk factors on the horizon.
We’ll go beyond the typical home buyer survey and look in hard to reach areas such as under floorboards and under carpets. We might also look in the cellar or basement for signs of damp or damp related issues. Armed with this information, you can avoid investing in a property that could be problematic in the long term.
