A compliance problem found before purchase in Cobham

During a pre-purchase CCTV survey of a residential property in Cobham, Surrey, AFS confirmed that the drainage discharged to a septic tank, with no nearby mains sewer connection available from the information found on site. The survey recorded a non-compliant septic tank, a failed soakaway and foul drainage defects that would need remedial and compliance work, giving the buyer a clear view before purchase.
