A Home in the Region of Three-Quarters of a Million Pounds has been subjected to a HomeBuyer Report in Woking

  • The expansive property boasted:
  • Three living room/reception areas
  • Four bedrooms
  • Three bath/shower rooms
  • A kitchen
  • A utility room
  • A separate toilet

The construction was relatively new (1999). It was constructed in the setting of a private residential area, with reasonable access to local shops and other amenities/services. The local schools were also good, according to the HomeBuyer Report in Woking.

Property prices in the South East of England are famously amongst the most expensive in Europe. This is most easily explained by the area’s natural and architectural beauty combined with its proximity to the City of London.

Woking’s transport links to London are the envy of most commuters. In addition, the South Coast is easily accessed by train.

A Clean Bill of Health

HomeBuyer Reports employ a ‘traffic light’ system to assess individual features of a building and the urgency of any attention they may require. The information a client receives is codified into:

  • Red – level 3 - Defects which are serious and/or need to be repaired, replaced or investigated urgently.
  • Yellow – level 2 - Defects that need repairing or replacing but are not considered to be so serious or urgent. 
  • Green –level 1 – Not defective; elements of the property that must be maintained in the normal way.

The HomeBuyer Report in Woking identified no Red – level 3 – problems requiring immediate attention. If found, these are the kind of discoveries that can be used to renegotiate the sale price of a property or, at worst, cause a potential buyer to turn their back on a building.

The RICS Chartered Surveyor only described two Yellow – level 2 – problems: the electrics should be inspected by a registered electrician and the heating system should be checked by a relevantly qualified specialist too.

Although by no means trivial, these recommendations are a formality. So, in fact, the HomeBuyer Report in Woking uncovered no level 2 or 3 faults in the building’s external or internal structure. Rare indeed, and, one would imagine, peace of mind for the client.
