A Home Condition Report
provides a comprehensive and jargon free report on the condition of
a domestic property and contains considerably greater detail than a
traditional home buyers survey.
An
Energy Performance
Certificate provides details of a property's CO2
emission and approximate annual heating
costs. The report provides recommendations for improving the energy
efficiency of the property, together with an indication of the
associated heating cost savings.
