Selling a home with a septic tank always raises questions when it comes to buying a property and with the Environmental Agency enforcing that homes are compliant and have a serviceable tank in place, it's never been more important to find out about your septic tank health before embarking on selling your home. With large costs associated, it's something that needs to be considered when attracting buyers and ensuring that an offer goes the distance.

To ensure the smooth process of your sale, it's worth thinking about having your septic tank serviced and certified before you start the ball rolling selling your home as this may help to avoid any delays and likely issues along the way.

This way, you can factor in the costs associated to make allowances for works required and potentially undertake any remedial work before you start the process of marketing your home or at the very least be mindful that if your septic tank isn't up to standard, your buyers will most likely expect your selling price to reflect this. All useful to know when you are budgeting for your move and it should certainty make the process of selling your home that much easier, keeping you one step ahead!
