What’s the difference between a single survey and a RICS level 2 survey?
The single survey included in the home report is the same as a RICS level 2 survey.
Why do I need a home report?
The home report is designed to inform sellers and potential buyers of the current state of the property. It offers both buyers and sellers the level of detail required to make an informed decision on a property purchase.
Can I refuse to provide a home report?
From a seller’s point of view, your agent can, in some cases, refuse to hand over a home report, including if the agent and/or seller don’t believe the potential buyer to be interested in buying their property, has enough money or chooses not to sell their property to the potential buyer.

Is a home report the same as a survey?
A home report is not the same as a survey. Although both offer information on the property’s condition, a survey offers greater insight and more detail.
Why is a home report important?
The home report, when done properly, can cut unnecessary expenses on having multiple surveys done, making the process of buying and selling a home in Scotland more efficient.
For many, the home report removes much of the stress of buying and selling a property, by ensuring all parties have the necessary property details to make an informed decision.
