Pre-Purchase CCTV Survey in Northampton

About This Service

Pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys for home buyers in Northampton and Northamptonshire. We inspect the drain system before exchange of contracts and provide a full written report and video suitable for your solicitor.

What's Included

  • Full CCTV inspection of all accessible drain runs
  • Written condition report suitable for solicitors and lenders
  • Digital video recording of the full survey
  • Severity-graded defect findings
  • Estimated remedial costs for any defects found
  • Typically 48–72 hours from survey to report delivery

How It Works

1

Book before exchange

Order the survey as soon as your offer is accepted — drainage defects are a legitimate negotiation point, but only if you know about them before exchange.

2

Coordinate access

We work with estate agents, vendors, and solicitors to arrange access. The vendor doesn't need to be present in most cases.

3

Survey and record

Camera inserted at the nearest accessible point. Full video recording with commentary on all findings.

4

Report within 48–72 hours

Written report delivered by email. Use it to renegotiate, request repairs, or make an informed decision to proceed or withdraw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which properties most need a pre-purchase drain survey?
Any property over 30 years old, properties with mature trees nearby (roots are the most common drain killer), older terraced houses with shared drains, and properties that have been extended or converted.
Can I use the survey to negotiate a lower price?
Absolutely. If the survey reveals genuine defects, you have evidence for a price reduction request. Drain repairs are quantifiable costs — a good solicitor will support the negotiation.
Will the vendor know about the survey?
Access needs to be arranged via the estate agent, so the vendor will be aware. However, a drain survey is entirely standard in due diligence and rarely causes any issues.
My mortgage lender requested a drain survey — can you help?
Yes. Our written report and video documentation are produced in a format that satisfies most lender requirements. Tell us if your lender has specific format requirements.
