Pre-Purchase Surveys
Pre-Purchase Damp Survey in Kent
A pre-purchase damp survey exists to answer one question with confidence: is there an active damp defect in this property, and what will it cost to put right? Ours is designed to give a buyer, and their solicitor, a clear answer before contracts are exchanged.
What Your Survey Includes
- Full pre-exchange inspection with the property's construction era in mind
- Room-by-room moisture profiling and photographic evidence
- Assessment of any 'high moisture' flags raised by the RICS survey
- Indicative remedial costs to support price negotiation
- Follow-up call with you and — if you wish — your solicitor
Common Problems We Find
- 'High damp readings' flagged in a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey
- Damp patches visible during a second viewing
- Recent redecoration in specific rooms that raises suspicion
- Freshly painted skirting or basement walls
