Pre-Purchase Damp Survey
Before you buy
Your RICS mortgage surveyor has flagged damp. Before you pull out of a purchase or hand a damp proofing company a blank cheque, get an independent specialist opinion. Richard’s pre-purchase reports are accepted by most solicitors and mortgage lenders and give you the evidence you need to renegotiate or proceed with confidence.
Did you know? In the majority of cases where a mortgage surveyor flags “damp,” the actual issue is either minor, misidentified, or resolvable without expensive damp proofing. An independent survey before exchange can save thousands and prevent costly mistakes.

Landlord & Housing Association Reports
Legally defensible independent reports
Facing a Section 11 complaint, Ombudsman referral, or insurance claim? An independent expert report from a qualified MISSE surveyor carries weight that an in-house assessment cannot. Richard provides legally defensible documentation referencing the relevant standards — HHSRS, Awaab’s Law, Building Regulations Approved Document F, and ANSI/IICRC S520.
