Home Condition Report (HCR)
A Home Condition Report contains information about the physical condition of a property, which sellers, buyers and lenders will be able to rely on legally as an accurate report.
The Report can be included by sellers on a voluntary basis.
Home Condition Reports offer a number of benefits.
- Sellers who provide a Report will have an early opportunity to carry out repair work on the property or obtain quotes prior to marketing.
- Buyers can use it at the beginning of the home-buying process to minimise the possibility of being faced with unexpected repair bills and other surprises.
- Lenders can benefit by using the Report to inform their valuations, reducing the need to repeat a detailed on-site inspection at the buyer's expense.
