Knowing exactly what is going on underneath before you purchase your new house will help you avoid any unpleasant and costly surprises.

We understand that purchasing a new home may be an exciting moment. It may be expensive as well, so it's crucial to take precautions when buying a property to safeguard yourself from any unpleasant shocks once you've taken possession. Everyone understands the need of a building survey, but the drainage system of a property is frequently forgotten.

Septic tanks, for example, are off-mains drainage systems that may be expensive to maintain or replace and are subject to a number of rules that limit the kinds of systems that can be utilised.
