Let's talk about Home Reports & surveying...

In this episode, Paul & Megan are debunking Home Reports with Donal Henretty (Managing Partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors).
It's a great conversation for anyone looking to find out more about the surveying process ahead of selling, but also anyone looking for ways to keep up their home in top condition.
When selling in Scotland, you need to undertake a Home Report before you can list your property. In this episode we chat about the effect of making Home Reports mandatory and the outcome for buyers and we also do a deep dive into each part of the Home Report from the single survey to how a EPC rating is decided.
The episode is full of useful tidbits for any homeowner and we hope you enjoy listening!
