Why?
Anyone can pluck a figure out of the air to enable a sale of property to proceed and deal with the implications after sale.
What you may not have taken into consideration is the following examples:
Quote for installation of drainage field based on an average allowance size.
Percolation tests could fail leaving you with no other option but to have a whole new system all together. If there is no room for alternative discharge this could mean a cesspool installation with regular expensive empties.
Percolation tests may pass but a much larger installation maybe required meaning fiscal transfer is not to the correct amount.
Correct permissions from owner of the land may not be in place and the farmer that originally said yes to the current owners may not agree to having a drainage field installed on their land for the new owner’s.
Quote for sewage treatment plant as an estimated figure
Site visits are vital to understand the drainage arrangements and access to the site in question. This quote could dramatically increase if there are access issues to the site.
Equally they could be over quoted and the vendor has lost out on monies from the sale.
Ground conditions and the water table alter between each site and additional costs may occur.
Permissions from the Environment Agency or Independent drainage board maybe required.
Original discharge location may not be working effectively leaving you with the additional cost of drainage solution’s to suit.

Example of A Quick Sale With A Ball Park Figure Quote
We were called to a site after a house purchase and exchange had taken place. The new owner had received a ball park estimate from another company. When carrying out our site visit we quickly noticed the estimate they had received to install a new sewage treatment plant could not be carried out. The current system was discharging to a pond. The only option was to install a cesspool at the front of the property like all the other houses in that row had. The difference in quoted price to the new solution was over £15k. The new owner simply did not have the additional monies to pay. Sadly the house was then put up for sale again and a loss for the new vendor.
Please remember drainage is an absolute necessity and the importance of the correct solution is non-negotiable.
