Home Report Company

📝 What is a Property Questionnaire?

If you’re selling your property, completing the Property Questionnaire is a vital step.

🏡 It provides potential buyers with essential details—from council tax bands and parking arrangements to utility services and shared responsibilities.

This nine-page document, part of the Home Report, should be filled out with care and accuracy.

Need help? 🤔 Our team is here to guide you through it.

📝 How should you respond to single survey category 3 findings?

Category 3 findings in a Home Report can be daunting, but they don’t have to derail your plans. Whether it’s structural damage, dampness, or other urgent repairs, it’s important to approach these issues calmly and with a clear strategy.

👉 Take time to review the findings carefully.
👉 Seek clarification from your surveyor and consult a professional if necessary.
👉 Decide whether to make repairs or adjust your asking price accordingly—remember, negotiation is always an option!

🛠️ This transparency helps both the buyer and seller navigate the sale smoothly and supports the buyer in securing a mortgage.

🔑 What is Home Completion? It's the thrilling final step in the buying process when the property officially becomes yours! 🎉

🏠 Here’s what happens. The property legally changes hands, and your money is transferred to the seller. While it’s an exciting time, it’s important to be aware of potential hiccups:

⚠️ Minimise risks: A proactive solicitor is key to a smooth completion. Need one? We can help—reach out to our expert panel.

⏰ Late payments: If the money transfer doesn’t happen by 3pm, completion may be delayed. Ensure all payments are sorted early to avoid headaches.

💰Buyer/seller disputes: Clarify what’s included in the sale and resolve any issues before completion day to avoid last-minute disputes.

📅 Pro Tip: Set a completion date that works for everyone in the chain and avoid completing on the same day as the exchange for an stress-free experience.

The moment you pick up those keys and step into your new home is one to savor—so enjoy it! 🥂

Can a Home Report expire? 🔎 Here’s what you need to know:

⏳ As long as the information in the Home Report, including the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), isn’t older than 12 weeks when you list your property, there’s no official expiration date.

🔄 However, if your property is on the market for several months, consider getting a ‘refresh’ of the Home Report to ensure accuracy and up-to-date information for potential buyers.

🏦 Mortgage lenders require a Home Report no older than 3 months. Sellers and buyers often negotiate who pays for the refresh, which typically involves a surveyor revisiting the property to update the single survey. This is usually less costly than a full report.

📅 Sellers can take their property off the market for up to 4 weeks without needing a new Home Report.

Thinking of selling your home? 🤔 Commissioning a professional Home Report is crucial. With over 25 years of experience as an RICS certified chartered surveyor, we provide detailed, accurate reports to help you present your property effectively.

For more information, visit our website: https://buff.ly/4cTy8ra

Wondering what each Home Report includes? 🤔 Here's a breakdown:

📄 Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): Understand your home's energy efficiency.

🏠 Single Survey: Includes a detailed inspection and the property's current market value.

❓ Property Questionnaire: Provides essential information about the property from the seller's perspective.

📝 Property Valuation: The buyer's solicitor may hire a surveyor for a brief report (2-3 pages) to meet the lender's mortgage requirements, ensuring a smooth borrowing process.

Home Report 101: What's included (and what's not!) 💡

🏡 Here's a quick fact: Mortgage Valuations (MVRs) are NOT included in a Home Report.

Why? 🤔 Lenders typically have their own surveyors for MVRs, so paying extra for an MVR in your Home Report might be unnecessary. Save your money. Choose a Home Report provider who focuses on a high-quality report at a competitive price. ✅
