What is a condition report?

A Condition report or Home condition report (HCR) is generally suitable for smaller and newer properties and serves as a valuable “MOT” for homeowners looking to assess the general condition of their home. It should be used for a conventional house, flat or bungalow built from common building materials which is in reasonable condition.

This report provides a succinct overview of a residential property and focuses purely on the condition of the property by giving ratings to the different parts of the building and flagging up any areas that need attention. It is a basic ‘traffic light’ survey.

Really reasonable price

Excellent service, really pleased with the level 2 survey report which was detailed and had really clear photos. We also used the drone option which took clear photos of the roof areas which was useful.
