Pre-Purchase Roof Inspection in Charmouth, Dorset

Common Challenges

• Hidden thatch defects on coastal cottages

  Charmouth cottages exposed to heavy rain and salt can hide rot and slipped ridges. Undetected defects quickly lead to leaks and interior damage.

• Unknown remaining lifespan causes negotiation risks

  Buyers without a lifespan estimate face unexpected repair bills and limited leverage during price or contract negotiations.

• Generic surveys miss roof-specific issues

  Standard home surveys often omit thatch detail, missing slipped thatch, combing faults or ridge wear that need urgent attention.
