Home Report
A Home Report is a legal requirement if you are selling a property in Scotland (though there are a few exceptions).
The Home Report was introduced by the Scottish government in 2008 to address the aims identified in the Stewardship and Responsibility report:
To provide better information about the condition of properties to sellers and buyers before offers are placed (and give sellers an incentive to carry out repairs before marketing their properties)
To address the problem of multiple surveys and valuations being carried out
To address the problem of artificially low asking prices being set
More information on what a Home Report is can be found on the Scottish Government website.
Note - A Home Report is not a legal requirement for properties outside of Scotland.
