For cheaper Home Reports shop around. Don’t just take the first figure quoted if you’re on a tight budget. There are at least two specialist suppliers offering lower-than-average rates. These are Survey Scotland and Home Report Scotland. Its worth getting a quote from them as well as from any recommendation made by your solicitor / estate agent.
There are exceptions when “cheap and cheerful” may not be the best route.
These include Home Reports for more expensive properties or properties needing quite a bit of work. In these cases having a well known brand behind the Home Report from one of the top three survey firms will probably help your sale.
Occasionally we get calls from people looking to sell off market because they can’t afford a Home Report. With cheaper Home Report options available or even “buy now pay later” schemes available, a Home Report should be within everyone’s reach.
