Home Report Inverness

Scroll

Home Reports were introduced on 1^st December 2008 by the Scottish Government under the ‘Housing’ (Scotland) Act 2006. These were introduced in order to provide buyers and sellers with better information about the property, it’s value, it’s condition and energy efficiency. The home report includes a Single Survey, Mortgage Certificate, Energy Performance Certificate and Property Questionnaire. Our Chartered Surveyors are fully qualified to undertake the home report for the seller. The report provides interested parties with detailed information. As mentioned, it contains an Energy Performance Certificate which provides an energy rating for the property and advice as to how the energy efficiency can be improved. The mortgage certificate is provided and can be utilised by any prospective purchaser in order to obtain finance from a mortgage lender. The final section of the home report is a property questionnaire and this provides relevant information about the property and is completed by the seller.
