If you're buying a property it’s a good idea to get a professional damp survey done before signing on the dotted line
A pre-purchase property damp inspection report, also known as a homebuyers 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.
It take a specialist to spot hidden damp especially during the summer months
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.

What does your standard home survey actually spot?
A standard homebuyers house survey may spot signs of damp, but it often won’t fully diagnose the cause, severity, extent, or repair cost.
Property Surveyors are NOT a damp specialists and will not diagnose hidden damp issues.
When the surveyor writes "Possible damp issue, further investigation required" both homeowners and buyers can be confused as to how to approach this issue, that’s why buyers usually commission a separate professional damp survey before purchasing a property - especially here in the UK, where older housing stock commonly has moisture-related issues.
