Few problems found during routine HomeBuyer Report in Hayes

The Home Buyers Survey in Hayes, conducted at a £135,000 one bedroom maisonette gave the ‘green light’ to go ahead with the purchase, much to the relief of Mr and Mrs B.

HomeBuyer Report in Hayes, Middlesex

Only 12 miles west of central London and well within the 'commuter belt', this town also features a wide range of local amenities. As a consequence of being such an attractive location, property in Hayes is seldom cheap, even for ground floor maisonettes.

In these circumstances, defects may be overlooked by a buyer who believes they have found a bargain, which is why getting a Home Buyers Survey is strongly advised.

No defects require urgent attention

Unusually, no ‘Condition Rating 3’ (problems which require immediate action) were flagged by the Home Buyers Survey in Hayes. Even in cases where homes are in a generally good condition, Chartered Surveyors will often find that gas and electricity services do not have certification recent enough to meet their liking. 

However, all the boxes were ticked here in Middlesex, much to the delight of the married couple.

Legal advice

The Home Buyers Survey in Hayes did raise a couple of questions about buying a flat or apartment: who pays for repairs to communal parts of the property? What kind of management system is in place? 

Questions like these are commonly addressed by RICS Chartered Surveyors making a recommendation that legal advice be sought, usually from the lawyer handling the sale or purchase.

Confidence and optimism for Mr and Mrs B

The most important aspect of the HomeBuyer Report’s findings is that none of them adversely affect the real value of the property.

In pricey regions such as Hayes, where a one bedroom maisonette is sold for a good six figure sum, it is essential that no structural defects, possibly hidden from the untrained observer, are present.

Do you want to take the risk of buying a home without knowing exactly what you are getting? Mr and Mrs B certainly do not regret obtaining a Home Buyers Survey in Hayes.
