Home Reports HRs Scotland

The majority of properties which are put onto the market in Scotland from 1st December 2008 will need to have a Home Report. The Home Report includes important information about the property (please see below for a summary) and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which provides a rating of the property's energy efficiency. The Home Report should help to improve the home buying and selling process by making available up front information relevant to the property.

 

Sellers
If you wish to sell your property, you are required to have a Home Report in place before you can market your property.

The Home Report will include the following documents:

 

Single Survey
This gives sellers detailed information about the condition and value of a home before it is marketed for sale.

 

Energy Report
This gives a homes energy efficiency rating and its environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.

 

Property Questionnaire
This contains information for home buyers, solicitors and surveyors, for example a home’s council tax band or local authority notices relating to it.

Buyers

The Home Report is designed to ensure that information needed by potential buyers is available to you when you need it, as you consider whether or not to buy a property. It brings together key information needed by buyers and sellers at the very start of the home-buying process, and ensures that important information about improving the energy efficiency of homes is made available when a property is sold.
