From the 1st December 2008 every Scottish seller will be legally obliged to prepare a Home Report prior to marketing their home. This report will be made available on request to prospective buyers of the home.
The Home Report will include:
1. An in-depth survey containing:
o Condition of home report
o Valuation
o An accessibility audit for people with particular needs
2. A property questionnaire containing information about the home that will be useful to buyers
3. An energy report providing:
o Energy efficiency of the home
o Environmental impact
o Recommendations on ways to improve its energy efficiency
It will not include any searches
Home Information Packs were first introduced into England in August 2007.
“As with Home Information Packs, HCR will arrange the Home Report on a transferee’s behalf. This saves time and reduces their stress allowing the employee to focus on their role at work,” enthuses David Jannetta, Move Adviser, HCR.
