What this job actually involves

Pre-purchase drain survey — how it works here

A homebuyer survey stops at the ground. The surveyor looks at the building, notes that there is a drain, and moves on — because inspecting the inside of a pipe is a separate discipline with separate equipment. That leaves the single most expensive unknown on the property completely unexamined, days before you commit.

Every accessible run on the plot, including the shared rear runs common on the Birchwood estates
Pipe material identified and stated — pitch fibre, clay or plastic changes the repair cost entirely
Each defect graded to MSCC5 and located by distance from a named access point
Depth recorded at every defect, because depth decides what a repair actually costs
A plain answer on where your responsibility ends and United Utilities' sewer begins
The full footage the same day, so your solicitor has something to work with

Before you ring

Questions about pre-purchase drain survey

How late in the process can I book one?

Any time before exchange. We would rather do it early enough that you have room to negotiate, but a survey the week before exchange is still worth far more than no survey at all.

What if it finds something serious?

Then you have a graded, located, dated report — which is a negotiating document. Buyers use them to reduce a price or to have work done before completion. That is the point of doing it before you own the problem.

Drain tracing and mapping Where the pipes actually run, marked on the ground rather than guessed at. Subsidence drain investigation When a building is moving, the drainage is one of the first things to rule in or out.
