5 great reasons to choose London Damp Specialists to carry out your damp survey

It can provide one of life’s great feelings when in a position to buy a home, even more so when it’s in London. It’s likely to be one of the biggest investments most people will ever make, with property prices so high. Buyers must take every precaution before signing on the dotted line. Location and the size of the property will have been considered at great length, as well as its condition.

Even the most attractive houses and flats can hide certain issues, with one of the most common being damp. Damp can cause serious structural issues, reduce a home’s value, and lead to long-term maintenance headaches if it goes unchecked. A PCA independent damp surveyor, as provided by us at London Damp Specialists, is an ideal way to provide peace of mind for the following 5 reasons.

1. 1. 1. London properties can pose more issues than those located elsewhere, as much of the city sits on damp clay created by its many hidden underwater sources. Our local specialists understand this and have expertise and knowledge in dealing with it. The wide range of properties comes with its own damp risks, and our specialists with extensive experience in London homes understand where problems are most likely to develop when carrying out a pre-purchase damp survey.
      2. Our established professional damp specialists use advanced tools and proven methods so that they can identify the type and extent of damp. It might be rising damp that needs dealing with, or perhaps condensation needs nipping in the bud before it leads to potential health issues for those of you living there. We ensure a clear understanding of the issue, rather than you relying on guesswork.
      3. We carry out independent damp surveys, which are guaranteed to be unbiased and professional. Our reputable damp survey will provide an assessment that highlights any existing problems and potential future risks. Buyers can use this information to negotiate price reductions, request remedial work, or simply budget for future maintenance, so that you know exactly where you stand.
      4. Rather than simply hoping everything is OK when you spot droplets on a windowsill, or something coming from the base of the walls smells strange, you can call us so that there will be no nasty financial shocks after you have made your purchase. Damp is not always evident to an untrained eye, which is why it is wise to seek out professional help.
      5. It is far better to read the phrase, damp found on homebuyer’s survey, than finding out about it after a contract is signed. Choosing our experts to conduct a survey is a way of investing in security for the future. You will be receiving access to advice and guidance on ongoing prevention and treatment on how to protect your new home.

   Whether it’s before a purchase or after settling in, a call to us on 020 7205 4886 will arrange a survey that will detect any damp issues to make living in your London home more comfortable.
