If you're buying a property it’s a good idea to get an in-depth damp survey done before signing on the dotted line
A pre-purchase property damp survey, also known as a homebuyers damp and mould survey, is a specialist report that assesses a property for damp and mould issues and uncovers any hidden damp
Our pre-purchase property damp survey costs just £150 and 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, pay towards them or discount the property.
Shouldn’t your standard mortgage survey spot damp?
Many people believe that there standard mortgage survey will uncover damp issues, 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.
A standard mortgage valuation will spot visible damp, but won’t fully diagnose the cause, severity, extent, or repair cost. Just that damp needs looking into
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.
