Why do I need a home buyers report?
A home is usually one of the most expensive purchases that a person will ever undertake. As such, the last thing that you want to happen is to move in and find out that even more money will have to be spent in order to bring the house up to a comfortable condition. You certainly don’t want to move in only to find catastrophic problems that will require a lot of money to fix. This is why a home buyers report is vital.
These reports are, essentially, a condition check for a property. They provide an accurate valuation of the property and ensure that you are not paying too much, nor do you risk paying a large amount for repairs later on. A report also includes background information on the property, an assessment of areas such as drainage and insulation and general details of problems and major faults. An in-depth visual inspection is carried out throughout the property to ensure that no area is overlooked and to ensure that you are paying the right amount. One important thing to remember with a home buyer report is that, if possible, it should be carried out by a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, like our team of skilled surveyors. This ensures that a fully trained and qualified professional is inspecting the house.
We conduct full inspections and investigations of a property, uncovering any issues or faults which may require significant money and time to repair. All inspections are done professionally and thoroughly, with our reports written up fully following the completion of an inspection. There is no need to worry about how thorough the inspection is as we have been providing them for several years, thus ensuring that our skills have been honed to detect the smallest problems. We carry out our home buyer reports in the standard fashion as dictated by the RICS and they include everything from an evaluation of the current condition of the property to any insurance rebuilding costs.
With many home buyers setting themselves up for an average of £5,750 in repair bills just on a new home alone, it is highly important that you consider getting a home buyer report in Maidenhead, Slough or Reading from us. If you are a first-time buyer, then we cannot place enough importance on hiring an independent surveyor to undertake and write up a home buyer report.
