Our Services - YC Home Reports™

From 1st December 2008 all properties for sale in Scotland will have to be marketed with information to be branded as the ‘Home Report’. This will potentially transform the way properties are sold.

The Home Report, commissioned by the seller, will provide prospective buyers with detailed information about the condition and value of the property before offers are made.

It is anticipated that buyers will not waste time and money on mortgage valuation reports on properties where their offers are unsuccessful, and that first-time buyers, with nothing to sell, will particularly benefit from a Home Report provided by the seller.

The Home Report will contain three documents. These are

• A single survey prepared by a chartered surveyor containing detailed information on property condition, accessibility information and a valuation.
• An energy report giving a home's energy efficiency rating and its environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. It recommends ways to improve the building's energy efficiency and gives contact details for further advice and information about how to make a home more energy efficient and save fuel costs.
• A property questionnaire to give prospective buyers useful information about the property, such as parking arrangements, factoring and property alterations.
