Benefits for Property Buyers
If you are looking for a property to purchase, it is likely that you have a property to be sold for which you will require a Home Report.
We would be pleased to discuss your requirements and answer any questions you may have regarding the Home Report process. We can obtain a quote for and arrange for the instruction of the Single Survey including the Energy Performance Certificate at a time and date which suits you.
The information within the report gives you the condition of the property, alerting you to any major repairs if any and even giving you the energy efficiency and an estimated cost of energy bills.
Yes. We only work with Surveyors who are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). These surveyors are independent of the selling agent and will provide a true snapshot of the property at the time of inspection
No. The home report is available to view electronically for free, however, a charge will be made if you require a printed copy of the report as it contains an average of 50 pages.
Unless you are the successful purchaser and have downloaded a copy of the report in your name then you cannot discuss the report with the surveyor as the report was paid for by the seller.
If you are the successful purchaser it is not uncommon for the lender to insist on updated documents if the report is more than 12 weeks old, however, the seller is not obligated to pay for this
No. Documents within the home report can not be more than 12 weeks old when you go to market, but more importantly, the report belongs to the previous seller and will be in their name.
