Most home buyers choose our £349 Pre-Purchase Roof Report. It is designed for buyers whose survey has flagged roof concerns and who need written roof evidence, photos and repair cost guidance before exchange.
Do not buy the house at full price and then inherit the roof bill.
When you buy a property, the roof becomes your responsibility from the moment you complete. If your survey has already raised concerns, a written roof report can help you understand the visible roof risk before exchange.
A £349 roof report could help you avoid a much bigger surprise, whether that is chimney work, ridge tile repairs, flashing issues, flat roof replacement or a full roof replacement.
A roof report does not guarantee a price reduction or seller contribution. Repair costs, savings and negotiation outcomes vary.
From £249
If your survey mentions several roof concerns, chimney defects, roof age, sagging, flat roof issues, flashings, gutters or possible replacement, the £349 Pre-Purchase Roof Report is usually the more suitable option.
