Home Reports in Scotland

About Home Reports

The Home Report is a new pack that is designed to provide potential buyers with further information about a property before they consider submitting an offer. From 1st December 2008, the seller (or their solicitor) will be required to have a copy of this document on hand before their property can be put up for sale.

The seller is required to make a copy available to any interested buyers. Failure to provide this document to interested buyers could lead to a penalty charge of up to £500.

Single Survey

The Single Survey gives sellers detailed information about the condition and value of a home before it is marketed for sale. It also gives buyers better information about the condition and value of a home before they make an offer to purchase.

The Single Survey includes an accessibility audit that will make Scotland the first country to require that the accessible features of every home for sale are highlighted to potential buyers. View an Example Single Survey

Property Questionnaire

The Property Questionnaire contains information for home buyers, solicitors and surveyors. It would include, for example: a home's council tax band, parking facilities, factoring arrangements, any local authority notices that affect it and alterations that have been made to the home.

This information will be useful for buyers before they decide whether to submit an offer to purchase a home. It will also reduce the risk of delay and difficulties in conveyancing. View an Example Property Questionnaire
