If you're buying a property it’s a good idea to get a damp survey done before signing on the dotted line
A pre-purchase property damp inspection report, also known as a damp and timber survey, is a specialist report that assesses a property for damp and wood rot.
Our pre-purchase property damp survey can not only help you to avoid costly repairs after you’ve purchased the property, but if damp ‘is’ found you can negotiate with the seller to either fix the damp issues or discount the property.
Shouldn’t your standard mortgage survey spot damp?
Unfortunately, property surveyors are not damp specialists and often fail to spot the warning signs. then there is also the fact that a lot of people sell their homes in spring and summer and can take steps to hide damp if they are aware of it.
Damp issues then only become apparent when colder weather arrives and by this time the deal is done and you can be left with a hefty bill or a feeling that you overpaid for the property.
