A house buyer’s drain survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property’s drainage system before purchasing a house. This survey includes assessing the condition and functionality of the drainage system to identify any potential issues and provide recommendations for necessary repairs. It is an essential step in the house-buying process that ensures the buyer fully understands the property’s condition and can avoid expensive and stressful problems in the future.

We cover Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Waterford, Clare, Tipperary, Dublin and Galway.

There are several reasons why a house buyer’s drain survey is essential:

1. Identifying Drainage Issues: A house buyer’s drain survey helps to identify any underlying drainage issues that could cause problems for the new homeowner. These issues could include blockages, leaks, or other damage that could lead to costly repairs or further issues down the line.
2. Protecting Your Investment: A house is a significant investment, and purchasing a property without a proper understanding of its drainage system’s condition and functionality can be risky. A house buyer’s drain survey provides peace of mind and protects your investment by ensuring that there are no surprise drainage issues to deal with after you take ownership.
3. Negotiation Tool: The results of the house buyer’s drain survey can be used as a negotiation tool if any issues are identified. If repairs or maintenance work is necessary, you can either ask the seller to take care of the repairs before the sale is finalised or negotiate a reduced sale price to account for the cost of the work.
