About Domestic House Purchase Surveys

Purchasing a new home is one of life’s biggest investments, and ensuring your future property is in top condition is essential. London Drainage Services (LDS) offers comprehensive domestic house purchase surveys to help identify any hidden issues within the property’s drainage system.

By understanding the drainage health of the property, you can make a more informed decision and avoid unexpected expenses down the road.

Our skilled engineers conduct in-depth inspections using state-of-the-art CCTV technology, providing a full report detailing the structural condition of the drainage system. This includes drain mapping, system responsibility, misconnection checks, and high-quality images and video footage to give you complete clarity. With LDS, you have a reliable partner to identify and rectify potential drainage issues, protecting your investment and giving you peace of mind.

How Our Domestic House Purchase Surveys Services Work

Our Domestic House Purchase Surveys service provides invaluable insights into the condition of a property’s drainage installation before finalising a purchase. Buying a home is a significant investment, and ensuring the drainage system is in good condition helps avoid unexpected repair costs and potential disruptions. Our process begins with a detailed CCTV inspection of the entire drainage network, allowing us to identify any issues that might not be visible during a standard property viewing.

Our team carefully inspects for blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and any structural damage that could compromise the drainage system. This thorough examination includes both internal and external elements, assessing whether the current setup meets the property’s needs. Once the survey is complete, we compile a detailed report that includes images, a summary of the drainage condition, and recommendations for any necessary repairs or preventative measures.

This survey empowers potential buyers with a clear understanding of the drainage system’s health, providing peace of mind and a stronger position for negotiation if repairs are needed. Our Domestic House Purchase Surveys service is a proactive approach to home buying, ensuring that your drainage installation is reliable and suited to your new home from day one, safeguarding your investment for the future.
