How will the home owner pay<br />
for the <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong>?<br />
This depends on the agreement between<br />
the owner and the chartered surveyor or the<br />
agreement with the company they ask to<br />
compile the <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> for them (if any).<br />
Does the <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> have<br />
a ‘use-by’ date once the home<br />
is on the market?<br />
There is no set ‘shelf life’ or ‘use by date’ of<br />
a property’s <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> but home owners<br />
should take advice from a chartered surveyor if<br />
their property takes a long time to sell as it may<br />
need ‘refreshing’. Even a cold winter can have<br />
an effect on your home’s condition.<br />
If after the <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> is compiled, your<br />
property suffers from the effects of a flood or<br />
fire or other damage, you should consult your<br />
chartered surveyor immediately as the single<br />
survey and valuation will need to be updated.<br />
How far in advance of a home<br />
being marketed for sale can a<br />
<strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> be compiled?<br />
By law, the <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> documents can be<br />
no more than 12 weeks old when the property<br />
is put on the market for sale.<br />
If I buy a property which has a <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> and sell that<br />
same property soon afterwards, do I have to get another<br />
<strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> done?<br />
Yes. A new <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Report</strong> has to be arranged each time a property is put on the market for sale.<br />
