Buyer Risk Register
Don't Buy Blind. Protect Your Dorset Investment.
Thousands of rural properties across Dorchester and the wider Dorset area use private septic systems — and property searches do not reveal their condition. A failing or non-compliant septic system can cost a new Dorset homeowner between £3,000 and £25,000 to remediate. Our home buyer septic tank reports eliminate that risk before you exchange.
With the 2020 UK General Binding Rules now enforced, the Environment Agency can take action against property owners whose systems discharge incorrectly — even if the non-compliance pre-dates their ownership. Our reports clearly state compliance status, ensuring you buy in full knowledge of the legal position.
Every Drain-Age home buyer septic tank report is produced by a qualified, insured NADC-approved engineer and delivered in a format that satisfies solicitors, conveyancers, mortgage lenders and the Environment Agency. We serve all Dorset postcode areas and can typically attend within 24–48 hours of instruction.
