Home Reports Go Live This Year
From 1 December 2008, every home advertised for sale must – by law – have a Home Report. This report must be ready before your home is advertised. It will contain information about your home, including a survey, that will be made available to prospective buyers on request.
This website tells you more about what's in a Home Report, what it might mean for you whether you are a buyer, a seller, or both and why, if you are selling, it will pay you to instruct a GSPC member firm to provide your Home Report.
If you've got questions and you can't find the answers here, send us a note at info@homereportonline.co.uk. We may not be able to reply on-line to each message individually, but we'll summarise the most frequently asked questions and answer them here.
We'll be updating the site regularly in the run-up to the introduction of Home Reports, so log on regularly to see what's new.
Trust us to deliver
If you are thinking of selling, you can instruct a GSPC member to provide a Home Report as part of the preparations for putting your home on the market. As lawyers and estate agents, our members have a unique combination of skills and expertise that makes them ideally suited to preparing a Home Report for your home. Every GSPC member can instruct a qualified surveyor to provide the Single Survey and the Energy Report. They will provide an expert valuation for your home, based on the latest sales information and will compile a dossier of evidence for the surveyor to support that valuation. Once the Single Survey and the Energy Report are complete, your GSPC firm will compile these reports and the Property Questionnaire into a finished Home Report and make it ready for distribution to interested buyers on-line, by e-mail and as a printed document. They will also integrate the delivery of the Home Report with the other preparations for selling your home such as production of schedules and preparing advertisements. This will ensure that once the Home Report is complete, you will be ready to advertise your home immediately. | What you can expect:
