Commercial building owners need to start thinking about how they are going to meet their obligations under a European Buildings Directive:
Home Condition Reports
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 is an important part of the Pack, and can be included by sellers on a voluntary basis.
Benefits of a Home Condition Report
* 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.
The Government believes there will be significant benefits to home sellers if they top up their Packs to include full Home Condition Reports, and that this is a product that the market can deliver.
Communities and Local Government is working with stakeholders to facilitate the voluntary take-up of the full Report, and has invested resources in promoting and developing it for consumers.
* You can see a sample of a Home Condition Report here.
Home Inspectors responsible for preparing Home Condition Reports will
hold a qualification at NVQ Level 4 (equivalent to degree level), and
will require in-depth knowledge and practical understanding of residential
building construction and defects across a range of properties as set
out in the approved National Occupational Standards for Home Inspectors.
You can find out more about the standards here.
