What is in a Home Report?
A Home Report contains three documents: a Single Survey, an Energy Report and a Property Questionnaire. Find out more about what these documents contain in our Home Report page.
Are there any Home Report exceptions?
Yes, there are a number of exceptions. Namely:
- New homes, including those sold ‘off-plan’
- Newly converted premises, which had not previously been used as a home
- Right to Buy homes, where the home is sold to a tenant and marketing is not required
- Seasonal and holiday accommodation, which only has permission to be used for less than 11 months in any year
- A portfolio of residential properties, where a home is sold with one or more other homes and will not be sold in isolation
- Mixed sales, where a property is sold with one or more residential properties
- Dual use of a dwelling house, where a property is used for both residential and non-residential purposes
- Unsafe properties, where there is a risk to the health and safety of occupants or visitors
- Properties to be demolished
Who pays for the Home Report?
The seller is responsible for the cost of the Home Report.
Who should be given a copy of the Home Report?
Buyers should receive a copy of the Home Report within nine calendar days of the request. There are a few occassions where a seller may refuse to give a copy:
- The buyer could not afford the house.
- The person is not really interested in buying the property.
- It is not a person to whom the seller wishes to sell.
The Home Report should be provided free of charge, although a reasonable cost can be made for printing and postage.
