A Home Condition Report (HCR) provides a comprehensive and jargon free report on the condition of a property which also includes the
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and contains considerably greater detail than a traditional Homebuyers Survey.
The report is an independent assessment of the state of the property on the day it was inspected. It is in an easily understood and
carefully regulated format that divides the property into separate elements each of which is given a condition rating of 1, 2, 3 or ‘not
inspected’
The report highlights areas that conveyancers, who rarely see a property, should investigate and details any matters that require further
investigation. Minor defects that will not affect the sale of the property are not included. The report checks compliance with building
regulations at the time of construction and safety issues such as fire protection and radon gas. A mortgage valuation is not included
currently, but a building re-instatement cost is. This is often useful for insurance purposes as insurers often over estimate the cost which
results in higher premiums.
This is an optional but authorised part of the Home Information Pack which buyers, sellers and lenders have a legal right to depend on as
an independent, objective and authoritative report.

6 GOOD REASONS TO COMMISSION A HOME CONDITION REPORT
- Gives sellers and agents more information which can help marketing strategy and asking price.
- Allows for further investigation of problems during marketing avoiding delays after offer acceptance.
- Reduces the potential for sales falling through or difficult re-negotiations and speeds up the process reducing worry and stress.
- Gives buyers up front information obviating their need for a survey
- Allow sellers to correct faults at their expense which is often cheaper than negotiating reductions in the selling price.
- It is a cost effective way of showing potential buyers that a seller is serious and has nothing to hide.
