A standard property survey rarely covers underground drainage systems. Many buyers discover hidden issues-such as collapsed pipes, root-damaged lines, or severe blockages-after moving in. These repairs can cost thousands and cause major disruption.
A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey provides clarity and negotiation power. If problems are found, you can request repairs before completion or adjust the purchase price. It’s a small investment that protects you from unexpected costs and gives you confidence in one of the biggest purchases of your life.
