Homebuyer Surveys
Homebuyer Damp Survey Kent
A homebuyer damp survey is a targeted specialist inspection instructed alongside — or in place of — a broader RICS survey where damp is the main concern. It goes deeper on moisture than a general survey ever can, and it is written specifically for the buyer's decision.
What Your Survey Includes
- Complete internal inspection focused on damp risk areas
- External elevation review — pointing, render, gutters, ground levels
- Moisture and thermal profiling of all suspect areas
- Written buyer-focused report with clear buy/negotiate/walk-away context
Common Problems We Find
- Vendors' 'cosmetic' redecorations that hide older damp defects
- Rising damp misdiagnoses affecting mortgage retentions
- Timber decay in floors and behind kitchen units
- Chimney breast staining wrongly attributed to condensation
