Buying a home? Don't get caught by hidden maintenance traps.
Standard RICS mortgage surveys tell you if the house is standing. The Hausy Homebuyer MOT™ tells you how it actually works — inspecting gutters, seals, valves, and damp spots before they turn into costly move-in surprises.
Mortgage Survey vs. Hausy Home MOT™
Most buyers spend £600–£1,000 on a valuation survey only to discover leaking gutters, perished silicone, and seized valves within their first month of moving in.
What They Often Miss:
- ✕Gutter Testing: Surveys do not test water flow or union leaks.
- ✕Wet Area Seals: Shower tray and bath perimeter shrinkage are ignored.
- ✕Plumbing Valves: Radiator TRVs, taps, and stopcocks are rarely operated.
- ✕No Maintenance Roadmap: Leaves you with vague caveats and no clear plan.
What We Inspect On-Site:
- ✓40+ Checkpoints: Roofline, chimney flashings, gutters, and downpipes.
- ✓Thermal & Moisture Scan: Uncovers hidden draughts and subfloor moisture.
- ✓Plumbing & Utilities: Boiler pressure, valves, stopcock free-turn test.
- ✓12-Month Priority Roadmap: Itemized costs so you know what needs attention first.
