Case Study - Homebuyers Survey – 1960s Detached House, Hinckley
This Homebuyers Survey Report identified a number of significant and potentially costly defects, enabling the purchaser to successfully renegotiate the purchase price.
Key issues included:
An uneven flat roof and poor drainage causing water to pond
Damaged roof tiles with an unusual profile, making replacements difficult to source
A warm air heating system raising concerns about potential asbestos
Leaking balcony surfaces causing decay to supporting deck structures
Collapsed retaining walls
Poor channel arrangements within drain chambers
