Make full home inspection surveys mandatory on purchases -'buyer beware' caveat

Petition Details

4 in 5 home buyers do not bother with full structual surveys. This can often lead to thousands in repairs and structural work which can put enormous strain on families. A mandatory home survey system similar to Scotland home report is needed to protect buyers and save families misery of repairs.

Additional Information

Not enough guidance is issued to buyers from banks and/or estate agents about the sheer importance of buying a property without a full survey. A law change is needed to make it mandatory that full structural surveys are conducted prior to purchases either from the buyer or similar to Scotland Home report; from the seller
