Avoid Any Nasty Surprises After You Move In!
Just like a normal RICS home buyers survey or full building survey performed by a chartered surveyor a drain survey is designed to assess the state of the drains and drainage of a property prior to purchase.
The aim is to give the potential buyer a clear and detailed view of the drainage system including how effective it is, if there is any damage or any potential issues that could cost money later on.
The survey itself covers a number of areas of the properties drainage. It is not just about looking at the drains themselves in terms of any damage. All the information in the home buyer drain survey can then be used during the purchase process. For many people it can have an effect on offer figures but for others it is just useful to make plans on what work needs to be done post purchase.
This covers the actual condition of the drains as discussed above and includes any damage or potential areas that need work.
This part of the home buyers drain survey looks at any pipes that are not connected properly. This could result in leakage and incorrect flow levels. We identify and report any such issues and advise on any remedial work.
It is not always clear who is responsible for certain parts of the drainage and sewage systems around properties. This is one of those things that many people fail to think about until there is a problem. This can lead to confusion, issues with neighbours and even legal problems in the event of a something going wrong. Much like a chartered surveyor will outline the boundaries of the property we will provide information about the drain ownership.
Our survey will also provide you with a map of the drainage system. This can be very useful and save money in the event of any damage or repair work needed at a later date. It can also help if you then go on to sell the property as this map is unlikely to change.
You will receive a detailed report including images and video from the CCTV survey equipment. This information can then be used during the property purchase or any other legal situation. Our friendly team are on hand to explain any issues and go over the report with you.
“Absolutely fantastic. Gavin was able to come out to inspect a concern following home buyers survey at a time to suit us, kept us informed of arrival time as requested and was very friendly and helpful. He gave clear helpful advice and charged us less than originally quoted as we didn’t need a full drain survey as we had thought. He explained everything. I would not hesitate to recommend him and use him again if necessary. Thanks Gavin!”
