It is essential to gather information on any structural dampness issues identified in the Home Buyer’s Report. Consequently, an additional damp inspection will be required. This inspection will help clarify the types of dampness and timber decay present. It will also provide an initial assessment of the defects identified in the Home Buyer’s Report before proceeding with the purchase of the property.
Home buyer investigations are limited because the surveyor cannot conduct any disruptive investigations.
What is Dampness? It’s the presence of excess water in a building. If not corrected, it will cause structural damage and timber/decay.
