Do I Need a Drain Survey Before Buying a House in Derby?

Written By HH

Buying a home in Derby or Derbyshire? It’s exciting — but before you sign on the dotted line, there’s one crucial check many buyers skip: the drain survey.

Why Do Drain Surveys Matter?

Homebuyer reports and building surveys often don’t include a proper inspection of the drainage system. But cracked pipes, root ingress, and blockages can cause major issues — and major costs — later down the line, not to mention it can detect rat infestations!

We’ve seen buyers land unexpected bills in the thousands due to drainage damage discovered after purchase.
