Do You Need a Professional Damp Survey Before Buying a House?

Buying a new home is exciting — but damp problems can turn your dream home into an expensive nightmare.
Here’s why it’s important to arrange a professional damp and timber inspection before you complete your purchase.


Why General Surveys May Miss Issues

A standard homebuyer’s report often only highlights visible signs of damp, not hidden problems within walls or timber.
Without a specialist inspection, you could miss rising damp, dry rot, woodworm, or serious structural risks.


What a Specialist Damp Assessment Covers

✅ Rising damp detection
✅ Timber infestation and decay assessment
✅ Moisture meter readings and wall inspections
✅ Professional diagnosis and advice
