A Home Report provides details about the property that is for sale, including the overall condition, a mortgage valuation report and energy performance certificate.

A valuation of your property may be required for a variety of reasons. A few examples are Taxation, Divorce, Executry, Purchase, Private Sale and Financial Planning. This document offers a succinct overview of the property, along with an up-to-date market assessment derived from comparable local sales. The report includes a present-day valuation and, if required, can provide a retrospective appraisal for a specified historical date.

Previously a Homebuyer Survey or Scheme 2. If you’re thinking of buying a property, you might want a detailed inspection. This report focuses on significant defects to help you make a more informed decision. In certain instances, such as off-market or private transactions, a Home Report might not be available. Even when one exists, prospective buyers occasionally opt for commissioning their own comprehensive survey. This approach enables direct interaction with the surveyor, allowing for specific enquiries and personalised insights. This can prove valuable in guiding purchase decisions and informing price negotiations. There are two levels of home surveys available – Level 2 and Level 3.

Often referred to as a Building Survey, this is the most thorough survey you can get. Building surveys provide more detail on the condition of the property. They are particularly useful if you’re buying an older, unusual or poor-condition property. Property acquisition inherently involves certain risks. While it’s impossible to entirely eliminate these risks, they can be significantly mitigated through comprehensive and technical information. By providing detailed insights, we aim to enhance your understanding of the process and potential challenges, leading to more informed decision-making.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required whenever a property is built, sold or rented. It may also be required when home energy improvements are being made. The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assesses a property’s energy efficiency, using a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This document outlines the property’s energy consumption, estimated energy expenses, and recommends potential enhancements. With a decade-long validity, an EPC serves as a valuable tool for property owners by providing insights into their home’s energy performance, guiding them towards improvements that can lead to reduced energy bills and increased efficiency.
