The short answer: If a property shows any signs of damp, mould or timber decay, a specialist damp and timber survey before you commit can save you from costly surprises. It tells you what the problem is, whether it is serious, and what it is likely to cost to put right.
Why buyers get one
- Hidden damp and timber defects can be expensive to repair
- A general survey may only recommend a specialist takes a look
- The report helps you negotiate the price or decide whether to proceed
What we look at
Damp on walls and floors, woodworm and rot in timbers, roof drainage, ventilation and condensation. You get an honest, independent explanation, including when work is not needed.
When to book
Ideally before you exchange contracts, so you still have time to act on the findings.
