So, what is a Home Report?
In Scotland, a Home Report is a mandatory set of documents that sellers must provide when marketing their residential property. Introduced in December 2008, Home Reports are designed to give potential buyers a clear understanding of the property's condition, energy efficiency, and other key information before making an offer. This transparency helps speed up the sale process and reduces the likelihood of unexpected issues arising later. It also helps buyers make informed decisions, fostering confidence in the property market.
