Reward YourselfRE/MAX Scotland

From December 1st 2008, each residential property sold within Scotland must, by law*, produce a Home Report.

What is a Home Report?

A Home Report must contain:

•             A Single Survey is a report prepared by a survey provider on the condition and value of the house

•             An Energy Report will provide you with an energy efficiency rating of a house together with useful advice to cut fuel bills and increase the home energy efficiency

•             A Property Questionnaire contains further information about the house such as alterations that have been made, factoring costs and council tax banding. The Property Questionnaire must be completed by the seller, or someone nominated by the seller.

A Home Report must be provided to a prospective buyer within nine working days. A seller or the selling agent may charge a prospective buyer a reasonable sum for copy and postage costs.

Who will compile my Home Report?

Our approved chartered surveyors will provide the Single Survey and Energy Report. Our Associate will help you as the seller of the house, complete the Property Questionnaire.
