The Survey Your Surveyor Doesn't Do
Standard homebuyer surveys often do not include a full internal drain inspection. Your conveyancer may confirm that drainage exists, but that does not always show whether the system is working properly or if hidden defects are present.
Our home buyer drain survey uses HD CCTV to inspect every accessible drain, identify issues such as cracks, blockages, root ingress, collapsed sections, and failed soakaways. You’ll receive clear footage and a written report, helping you make an informed decision before you commit to the purchase.

What Milton Keynes Buyers Say About Pre-Purchase Surveys
Marcus R. — Milton Keynes
"Survey found two collapsed sections. We negotiated £8k off the asking price. Best £180 we ever spent."
Theresa H. — Milton Keynes
"Pre-purchase survey on a 1930s house — found severe root ingress in the main line. Walked away from the property. Saved a fortune."
Patrick D. — Milton Keynes
"Drainage looked fine in the photos. Survey found a partially collapsed soakaway. Got the seller to fix it pre-completion."
Yvonne M. — Milton Keynes
"Solicitor recommended getting one. Wish we'd done it on our last house too — turned out we'd inherited £6k of issues we never knew about."
