We provide both Home Condition
Reports and Energy Performance Certificates for inclusion in
your Home Information Pack.

Home
Condition Report
The Home Condition Report
is an independent report on the condition of the property on
the day it is inspected. It is in an easy to understand
format with the property broken down into separate elements
each given a condition rating of 1, 2, and 3, or not
inspected.

It also highlights any matters
that require further investigation. However, minor defects
that will not affect the sale of a property are not
included. A mortgage valuation is not included, but there is
a buildings reinstatement cost for insurance purposes. This
could be useful as insurance companies often over-estimate
this figure, resulting in higher premiums than necessary.
The HCR is an optional HIP document that sellers, buyers and
lenders all have a legal right to rely on, as an objective
and authoritative report |
Energy
Performance Certificates
An Energy Performance Certificate will detail the energy
efficiency and environmental impact of a property.
Grades are given on
a scale of A to G.
-
A - very efficient and low impact
on the environment
-
Most new properties are Grade
B/C.
-
Grade D/E is the UK average.
-
G - very inefficient and high
impact to the environment

The certificate
also makes recommendations for improvement. In 2008 rented
residential property will also require an EPC which we will
be able to produce for Landlords. |
