A Home Report is required whenever a property is put up for sale in Scotland. You are legally required to have one carried out before you can begin marketing your property.
What is a Home Report?
The Home Report was introduced in December 2008 by the Scottish Government. It provides buyers with all the information they need before making an offer on a property. Everyone selling a property in Scotland must pay for a Home Report to be produced for their property before they market it to prospective buyers. A Home Report consists of three documents:- the Single Survey, Energy Report and Property Questionnaire.
1. Single Survey
Conducted by a Chartered Surveyor, the Single Survey provides an assessment of the condition & value of a property.
2. Energy Report
Provides an energy assessment of the property, highlighting how energy efficient it is & any improvements that could be made.
3. Property Questionnaire
Completed by the seller, it provides information such as council tax banding, parking facilities & factoring arrangements.
Who are Single Home Report?
Single Home Report was created to provide Scottish residents with the opportunity to order a professional home report for their property with relative ease.
Legislation passed on the 1st December 2008 that states that any property put up for sale within Scotland is accompanied with a Home Report. Failure to adhere to this ruling could lead to a penalty charge of up to £500.
