Homebuyer Report Bolton

Homebuyer Reports receive endorsement from RICS for dwellings erected recently, with typical construction techniques and presenting as well-maintained.

Good condition means moving in is possible with nothing beyond superficial restoration, like updating the interiors.

Consequently, Homebuyer Reports are generally appropriate for homes built from the 1920s onwards, without extensions, kept to an acceptable level, and limited to five bedrooms at most.

The document provides clear guidance, avoiding extensive technical details. Significant problems will be noted, though minor aspects like décor and superficial items won’t receive detailed attention. Every section features a ‘traffic light rating’; red meaning ‘Beware’ and green indicating satisfactory.

Whenever a red rating is emphasised, uncomplicated and direct guidance is furnished, which might necessitate an extra report (for instance, from a professional entity) enabling a realistic estimation for correcting or replacing that aspect of the property.

Note: Services for electricity, gas, oil, water, and drainage undergo only visual checks, and appropriate certified experts must be hired.
