RICS Home Condition Report

Although primarily intended for home buyers the HBR was also seen of benefit home sellers. 

With this is mind the RICS have developed a Home Condition Report that provides a schedule of condition for a property prior to being placed on the market.

If commissioned before the property is put up for sale the Home Condition Report may alert owners to problems which could later hold up the sale.
