Home Buyer Pest Survey – Plymouth & Devon
When buying a property in Plymouth or Devon, the last thing you want is hidden pest problems. A standard homebuyer survey may not pick up on rodent activity, bat droppings, or pest entry points, but these issues can quickly turn into costly repairs after you move in.
Our Home Buyer Pest Survey gives you peace of mind before you exchange contracts. We provide a detailed inspection and a written report so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Home Buyer - Pest Survey
Your Pest Control Report
Every Home Buyer Pest Survey in Plymouth and Devon comes with:
-
A comprehensive written report highlighting pest problems or risks
-
Photographs of rodent droppings, bat evidence, or structural entry points
-
Clear recommendations for treatment and prevention
-
Independent evidence you can use to negotiate price or request repairs before purchase
Even after the pests are gone, their mess can put your health at risk.
We’ve seen house sales in Plymouth fall through because of pest issues missed in general surveys. From rats in lofts to bat droppings in roof spaces or rodent entry points under extensions, these problems can cost thousands if left unchecked.
A pest survey gives you the full picture – protecting your investment and giving you confidence to buy.
Why a Pest Survey Matters
Case Study – Plymouth House Sale
A recent client booked a Home Buyer Pest Inspection in Plymouth on a three-bed home. While the property looked fine, our survey uncovered:
-
Rat droppings in loft insulation
-
Gnawed entry points around pipework and drains
-
Bat droppings in the roof space, restricting future roof work
Our pest control report gave the buyer the leverage to put the sale on hold until the sellers completed pest proofing and treatments. This avoided thousands of pounds in hidden pest control costs.
