Home Buyer Reports
Non-intrusive visual inspection ideal for conventional properties, in reasonable condition, built within the last 50 years. Also known as a Level 2 Report.
What is a Homebuyers Report
A standard Home Buyer Report details the following:
-
General condition of the property
-
Any major issues with the property that may affect the value e.g. damp, condensation, wet/ dry rot, woodworm etc.
-
Thermal insulation
-
Inspection (excludes testing) of drains, septic tanks etc.
-
Highlight any issues that may require further inspection by a specialist before you buy
This is a non-intrusive, visual inspection of all easily accessible areas. The surveyor will not move heavy furniture, lift all floorboards, or clear obstructions.
