Do I really need a home buyer report?

Securing home buyer reports and associated surveys is an essential part of the home buying process. These reports can help to shed light on the condition of the property and ensure that you get a fair price. It’s common for buyers to commission a variety of surveys to ensure they have all of the information. Lenders might also ask to see these reports, as this information can help to inform their valuation, and how much you can borrow.

For a property that appears to be in generally good condition, the recommendation will often be to commission an RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report. However, it’s important for buyers to be aware of the potential limitations of this report. The signs of damp and timber damage are often missed, as the surveyor isn’t looking for them. We go above and beyond to uncover the signs of damp and timber damage in a property, so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout the purchasing process.

Importance of the home buyer report in Warlingham

Homes throughout the UK are at risk of damage from water ingress and damp. This is down to the climate and construction methods. While damp proofing is commonly used to address this risk, these measures are known to fail over time. If there is a failure, it might not be obvious for months or even years. Many sellers are unaware of the damp problems that we uncover.

With the support of our PCA-qualified surveyors, we can help to uncover potential issues related to damp and timber damage. We’ll use the latest tools and techniques to provide a complete picture of the condition of the property. This will allow you to go beyond the insight provided in the RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Report and ensure that you have all of the relevant information you need to make an informed choice. We can also give you an idea of how much it might cost to repair the damage, which can help inform your negotiations.

What does a damp survey look for?

Our surveyors will be looking for any signs of damp and water ingress that could become problematic for residents. This could include signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation problems, wet rot, dry rot and more. We go beyond what is available during a visual inspection and take our investigation further, often lifting carpets and floorboards to get to the heart of the issue. This will ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the condition of a property before you purchase.
