Damp survey reports in North Shields and North Tyneside
Written reports for buyers, sellers, landlords, letting agents and mortgage lenders.
Understanding damp survey reports
A written damp report sets out what was found, what caused it and what needs doing. Most of ours are produced because a sale has stalled or a lender has asked for a specialist report. The findings are photographed and the scope of works is priced, so all parties can see exactly what is involved.
