Do you need a Home Condition Report?

What is an HCR

The Home Condition Report is a survey report which is carried out on your property before it goes on the market.  The report is carried out by a qualified film inspector.

Advantages of including an HCR

• You will find out first, before any purchaser, about any problems there may be giving you a chance to put the right.
• You will be able to show that your property is in good condition compared to others on the market without an HCR.
• Buyers will be able to appreciate quality of your property and have more confidence that there will be no structural problems.
• Buyers will be able to rely on the contents of the HCR, this will means they will not need their own survey, so the sale will not be held up while this is arranged.
• The buyers will know condition of law property before they make an offer so there will be less opportunity for them to negotiate the price.
