New product launch - Home Insight Survey

The Home Insight Survey is a completely new type of report, with the objective of transforming the way we sell and buy homes. 

Unlike traditional surveys, the target customer for a Home Insight Survey is a property seller, before they put their property on the market. And, importantly, the report can be relied upon, not just by the seller, but also by the buyer.

Home Insight Survey has been created to provide important information for sellers, buyers, estate agents and conveyancers, and it contains not just condition information, but environmental, health and safety, and climate change advice too.

But why do we need a sellers survey?
Statistics show us that 80-90% of home buyers get no independent condition information before making the biggest financial committment of their lives.
And in England and Wales, in 30% of cases the property purchase will fall through before completion, at a cost of £1billion a year to consumers and professionals.
Compare that to Scotland, where pre-marketing surveys are statutory, and where only 10% of purchases fall through.

Home Insight Survey - The stress-buster

The uncertainty of the home moving process in England & Wales makes it one of the most stressful experiences of our lives. But with a Home Insight Survey commissioned before the property is marketed:-

  • Buyers can make properly informed decisions with an increased certainty of achieving a successful conclusion.
  • Sellers can be confident that there is far less risk of a late (downwards) renegotiation of the sale price due to unforseen discoveries by the buyers' surveyor.
  • Sellers are likely to achieve a higher selling price, more that compensating for the upfront cost of the survey.
  • Sellers can have more confidence that their on-going purchase budget will remain stable.

The Home Insight Survey has been carefully created to ensure that it meets the needs of as many parties as possible during the home moving process. It delivers important and valuabkle information for sellers, buyers, estate agents and conveyancers, delivering the openness and transparency that helps transactions achieve a successful conclusion more quickly and reliably.
