Buying a home? Get a pre-purchase drain survey before you exchange
A standard homebuyer's survey barely looks at the drains. We match you with a verified local specialist for a pre-purchase CCTV drain survey — so any hidden damage is priced in before, not after.
Free · No obligation · Under 2 minutes
A RICS Level 2 or 3 survey only gives drainage a cursory look — surveyors can't see underground. A specialist CCTV survey tells you whether the drains are sound, who owns them, and what any repair would cost, before it becomes your problem.
Put the cost on the negotiating table
Drain repairs run from a few hundred pounds to £10,000+ for collapsed runs. Finding a fault before exchange puts the cost on the seller, not on you.
