Home Seller Survey

    Off mains home seller survey

    If you’re looking to sell your house and the property is off mains, you’ll want to be sure that the sale proceeds without any unnecessary glitches. Whichever off mains drainage system you use – septic tank or sewage treatment plant, a home seller survey will give you peace of mind that there are no hidden problems with this aspect of the sale. It can smooth the sales process of the property by assuring your buyer, or potential buyer, that your drainage system is in fully compliant and in working order.

    If the survey does discover any issues, it’s far better to have them fixed before selling, than to risk them cropping up at the last minute of the sale.

    Off Mains Drainage is required when a property is not connected to the main sewage system network. This can apply to all manner of properties and situations: from residential to commercial and agricultural, to home owners or home buyers.

    Septic tanks and other related surveys are essential when selling your new home or other type of property. We can find issues that normal surveyors can’t always detect. These jobs require a specialist off mains drainage surveyor and that’s us. It makes sense to establish your peace of mind, knowing that not only the house, but also the off mains drainage has been fully surveyed and deemed fit for use.

    Frequently Asked Question
    We can normally respond quite quickly for the home seller surveys because, typically, it’s the last thing that people think of. So, time is of the essence! Normally within 3-5 working days, we can be onsite. If we are actually in the area, we may well be able to respond quicker than that.
    Our Off mains house survey only surveys the ‘off-mains’ system in place – you will still need a house surveyor for the standard home buyer property survey.
    Not normally, unless there are an expert in this field, they will always recommend a specialist ‘off-mains’ surveyor to inspect. The two areas of expertise are quite different to each other so you are by far safest to get specialists in both fields, rather than leaving an off mains survey report to the standard house survey homebuyers report.
    The basic home buyer survey includes attendance on site, all drainage covers lifted and a visual inspection to establish any structural defects. A survey of the site to establish the general layout and then a full survey report giving a description of the current arrangement and its compliance with current legislation, together with guidance on likely requirement for any upgrade/improvement with costs to bring the off mains drainage system in line.
