Buying a property with oil heating? Arrange a pre-purchase oil heating survey.
Buying a new home can be an exciting time, but it can also be stressful. If the property you are purchasing has oil heating, it is important to understand the condition of the oil tank and boiler before you exchange contracts. This article helps you understand the benefits of a pre-purchase oil heating survey and how to book one with Suffolk Oil Solutions.
A pre-purchase oil heating survey can help identify potential issues, giving you valuable information before you commit to the purchase.
At Suffolk Oil Solutions, we can carry out a professional pre-purchase survey and provide an OFTEC CD/11 report, helping you make a more informed decision.
Most importantly, it can provide valuable peace of mind during the home-buying process.
Why arrange an oil heating survey before buying a house?
Many homebuyers commission building surveys but overlook the oil heating system. However, replacing an oil tank or boiler can be a significant expense.
A pre-purchase oil heating survey can help you:
- Understand the condition of the oil tank
- Assess the condition of the oil boiler
- Identify potential safety concerns
- Highlight maintenance or replacement requirements
- Avoid unexpected costs after moving in
- Gain greater confidence before exchanging contracts
What does the report cover?
Please note that the OFTEC CD/11 report covers the oil tank and oil boiler only.
It does not include a detailed inspection of the wider heating system, including radiators, pipework, controls, or internal heating performance.
