Home Buyers Drain Surveys

Purchasing a new home is a significant event. While looking for the perfect property can be exciting, it’s important to consider aspects like the state of the drainage system before making a financial decision.

Fortunately, once you’ve completed a home buyers drain survey, you’ll have the in-depth knowledge that you need about the infrastructure of your prospective purchase that goes beyond a cursory glance. At Express Drainage Surveys, we conduct thorough home buyers drain surveys using the latest technology and state-of-the-art equipment. Our team has many years of experience, so you can trust us to provide a detailed report before you make any moves.

This survey gives you, the home buyer, the confidence to move forward with your purchase, while also mitigating potential future challenges or worries related to badly maintained drainage systems. Is there damage or a blockage in the drain system? Where do they connect to the sewers? All of this is answered with our CCTV drain survey service for home buyers.

Operating from our base in Surrey, we can provide a swift response for buyers in London, Greater London and the home counties, while our mobile fleet allows us to help the whole of the UK with a range of CCTV drain surveys.

The Benefits of a Home Buyers Drain Survey

Minimising the impact of potential risks: Performing a CCTV drain survey for a potential purchase as a home buyer is a preventative action to minimise the possibility of encountering an unexpected drainage issue after purchasing your property and moving in. Finding any problems from the start enables you to include essential repairs in the budget discussions to avoid sudden costs later on. Early identification of drainage complications also allows you to take precautionary measures and avoid expensive future maintenance requirements.

Efficient cost management: As a potential purchaser, you can potentially save money by resolving drainage concerns before finalising the property sale. Being aware of the exact state of a drainage system permits you to bargain with sellers regarding repair costs or modifications and avoid any unexpected financial obligations further down the line. The last thing you need is more costs when buying a home, so choosing to invest in a home buyer’s CCTV drain survey beforehand may spare you from facing excessive expenses related to significant drainage repairs post-purchase.

Leveraging Negotiations: By utilising the information obtained from a survey, buyers gain an advantageous position in negotiating either the property price or the necessary repair costs with sellers. Such awareness enables informed decision-making and eliminates unexpected drainage problems that may arise later on. Should upfront identification of these issues transpire during negotiations, sellers might be inclined to concede more readily toward pricing or repair expenses.

Buyers Reassurance: One of the most significant benefits of a survey is that it grants you, the buyer, the reassurance you need to make an informed decision about your property investment. By obtaining clarity on the property’s drainage condition, you can confidently proceed with your purchase and enjoy your new home without worry.

Home Buyers Drain Survey: Our Process

There are various steps that we take when conducting an extensive survey of a property’s drainage for potential home buyers:

The Survey: Advanced CCTV technology is used by an experienced drainage engineer to conduct a fully comprehensive assessment of the drainage system of the property you wish to buy. This evaluation enables potential problem areas to be identified and establishes the groundwork for further work, or simply provides reassurance before your purchase.

A Detailed Report: After the inspection, purchasers are provided with an in-depth report that covers all aspects of the home buyer’s drain survey. Besides verbal advice given by our engineers on site, we provide images, videos and thorough clarifications about any concerns found during the survey. 

Recommended Works: After the home buyer survey’s findings have been analysed, our expert engineers recommend any further work that may need to take place. These recommendations span from minor fixes to extensive remediation activities, all of which we can carry out efficiently and professionally at your convenience.
