Buying or selling a property can be a very stressful time for all parties involved and there are certain issues which can cause delays in a property’s sale and purchase. A homebuyers survey will help potential buyers find out if there are any structural problems, such as subsidence or damp, as well as any other unwelcome hidden issues inside and outside which the vendor may not be aware of. Damp is one of the most common problems in UK properties and one of the most likely problems to occur on a homebuyers report.
Why should I have a pre-sale property survey?
Damp being detected in a property through a homebuyers survey is clearly very off putting to potential buyers or consequently leave the property selling at a lower price than initially valued. This is a time consuming and frustrating process for both the agent, vendor and purchaser.
