Compliance Reports For Property Owners
Compliance Reports for Property Buyers and Sellers
Standard homebuyer reports rarely check if a property’s drainage is compliant — but non-compliance can cost you over £15,000. Our Compliance Report gives buyers peace of mind and helps sellers avoid last-minute surprises.
You’re in the throes of moving house.
As a purchaser it’s your responsibility to find out exactly what you’re taking on. RICS homebuyer’s report is a great start but rarely extends to whether the property’s foul and surface water drainage is fit-for-purpose and legally compliant with the Environment Agency’s General
Binding Rules. With the typical price of a private drainage replacement being £15,000 (should the septic tank be found to be non-compliant) inherited liability can be a costly headache to solve.
As a vendor, you want to pre-emptively address any drainage issues and provide your buyers with the assurance of a well-maintained property, thereby reducing the likelihood of a failed transaction.
Which is where we come in.
Don't delay your house sale
We know that drainage problems delay house sales. Our comprehensive septic tank compliance surveys can identify issues early, confirm compliance and price any related works that need to be undertaken on the system There are many different things to consider when buying or selling a property. A typical RICS homebuyer’s report or building survey will look at the property as a whole but rarely investigates drainage fully.
At the other end of the scale, a CCTV condition survey only looks at the condition of the pipes without considering the legality and functionality of the drainage system as a whole.
Buyer's Compliance
KAM’s Property Buyer’s Compliance Report is a comprehensive survey of a property’s drainage system including the drains, septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, drainage fields, reed-beds and other drainage systems. As professional wastewater engineers, our surveys focus on
providing an understanding of:
- What drainage system a property actually has.
- The functionality and performance of a property’s drainage.
- The legal compliance of the property’s drainage.
- Septic Tank compliance of the property’s drainage
Identify issues and fix them without delay
When our Compliance Report identifies issues with a property’s drainage, we will include independent and objective recommendations and budget costs for bringing the property’s drainage up to standard.
We are also able to assist with completing the work required. For example:
- Percolation testing to establish soil porosity for sizing a new drainage field for a septic tank
- Infiltration testing to establish infiltration rates for sizing new surface water soakaways
- Environment Agency permitting where a property’s drainage requires a permit
- Supply and installation of septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, drainage fields and drainage
- Rectification and repair of existing septic tanks and sewage treatment plants
