Houses can be money pits and buying a house is a major investment – so the homebuyer really needs to be able to make an informed decision. This is where the Home Condition Survey (HCS) comes in.

Buying a house can be stressful and it is not always in the seller’s best interests to be fully open about its quirks and idiosyncrasies. The HCS tells the buyer about any aspects of the property that need urgent attention or which present serious faults, as well as any longer term repairs that a home owner might have to plan for.

The HCS is a clear and concise and jargon free report on the condition of a domestic property. The surveyor gives a cost effective service and will inspect and report on the property quickly, allowing the homebuyer to make a speedy and informed decision. Delivered by specially trained and fully accredited residential property surveyors, the HCS gives the buyer a plain English, jargon-free report on the condition of the property using a simple 1,2,3 rating guide, so it is easy to understand any risks or unforeseen expenditure that could crop up. To book an appointment or for more information please email  allen@dalygroup.co.uk.

The HCS can only be produced by fully qualified and accredited members of SAVA –an organisation which trains and accredits the work of surveyors. Homebuyers can be assured of a comprehensive report produced by a professional, trustworthy individual. The aim of the HCS is to make the home survey process quicker, easier and more cost-effective for homebuyers – something that is now more important than ever.


Did you know? If you wish to sell or let out your residential property you are now required to provide an energy performance certificate by law.(EPC)


Home Condition Report (HCR) is intended for sellers, and was originally designated for inclusion in the HIPS pack. Due to a change of government the HIPS pack has gone but the HCR remains.

If you are a seller, a Home Condition Report, though not mandatory, provides you with information detailing the current condition of your property prior to selling. Your HCR (Home Condition Report) will include both: EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) and  BCIS. Note: This reinstatement cost is the estimated cost of completely rebuilding the property based on information from BCIS, a service which provides building cost information and which is approved by the Association of British Insurers. It represents the sum at which the home should be insured against fire and other risks. It is based on building and other related costs and does not include the value of the land the home is built on. It does not include leisure facilities such as swimming pools and tennis courts. The figure should be reviewed regularly as building costs change. Importantly, it is not a valuation of the property. Your Home Condition Report offers a thorough, comprehensive and easy to follow document for a fraction of the cost of a full structural survey- placing you in a stronger position to negotiate with the prospective buyer.
