home condition
report (HCR)

The Home Condition Report contains information about the physical condition of the property which sellers, buyers and lenders will be able to legally relay on as an accurate report. The Government believes there will be significant benefits to home sellers if they top up their Home Information Pack (HIP) to include full Home Condition Report.

The Home Condition Report remains an important part of the Home Information Pack (HIP) and can be included by sellers on a voluntary basis. The Report can be used by potential buyers at the beginning of the home buying process to ensure they are not faced with unexpected repair bills and other commitments. Sellers who provide a Home Condition Report will have an early opportunity to carry out repair work on the property or obtain quotes prior to marketing.

Pennine have fully qualified and licensed Home Inspectors responsible for preparing Home Condition Reports that hold a qualification at NVQ Level 4, the ABBE Diploma in Home Inspection.
Pennine offer very generous financial packages to all clients who instruct our company to carry out both the Home Condition Report and the Energy Performance inspection.
