Our thorough homebuyers’ drain surveys include pre-surveying high-pressure water jet cleaning to ensure a clear, unobstructed view of the inner walls of the pipes.

Protect Your Investment with a London Drainage Survey

Buying property in London is a dream for many, but with rising market prices, it can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Before exchanging contracts, it is crucial to assess all necessary checks, including drainage systems, to avoid costly surprises down the road. A surprise drain problem can cost thousands of pounds to rectify, along with unnecessary stress and disruption. For homebuyers in London and Wembley, a professional drain survey is a wise investment.

While a RICS building surveyor may briefly assess the drainage system, they do not have the professional equipment to conduct a full drain survey. A certified drainage contractor is recommended to provide an in-depth structural and serviceability assessment. Insurance companies, which previously covered drainage systems without prior inspection, now require a professional drain survey before offering comprehensive coverage.

Drainage Issues in Wembley & London Don’t Have to Be a Dealbreaker

Faults within the drainage system may seem concerning, but they are not necessarily a dealbreaker. With the recommended repairs before purchase or negotiations between the buyer and seller for timely post-purchase repairs, you can restore the drainage system to a sound, serviceable condition. We are also experienced in drain repairs and installations, so we can diagnose and carry out the required remedial works.

Common Questions About Homebuyers Drain Surveys in London and Wembley

What Do Drain Surveyors Check for When Assessing a Property’s Drainage System in London?

Using CCTV drain cameras, we inspect every pipe in the drainage system, checking for structural faults like cracks, fractures, displaced joints, and open joints. These issues may lead to blockages, water leakage causing dampness, or even property subsidence. Tree root ingress can also cause drainage failure.

Who Pays for Repairs if Faults are Identified in a Homebuyer Drain Survey?

In most cases, repair costs are negotiated, with the buyer receiving a reduced asking price to cover repairs. In some instances, we have undertaken repairs on behalf of the seller, providing evidence that the works were completed before the sale concluded.

Are Pre-Purchase Property Drain Surveys Undertaken for Commercial Premises in London?

Yes, Pro-Drain Ltd regularly assists with surveying commercial property drainage systems for both buying and selling parties in London and Wembley. As with residential properties, it’s crucial to avoid purchasing a drainage problem that could disrupt business operations.

How Long Does It Take for the Homebuyers Drain Survey Report to Be Issued in London?

We typically provide the full report and recordings within 1-2 days via email to the requesting party. If the report is urgently required, we are happy to deliver it on the same day.

How Much Does a London Homebuyers Drain Survey Cost?

Unlike other companies, we do not charge based on postcode or the affluence of the area. Our charges are based solely on the size of the drainage system serving the property. For example, a three-bedroom house generally has a smaller drainage system than a five-bedroom house, and our fixed price is based on that aspect.
