A trusted name in the Scottish Property market, Graham + Sibbald
are listed on all major lenders’ panels with their home reports,
valuations, surveys and other reports recognised and accepted by all
key mortgage providers.
When a residential property is sold in Scotland it has to be marketed
with a Home Report which must be provided to prospective
purchasers. Graham + Sibbald are an RICS Quality Assured Firm,
with qualified Energy Assessors in each of their offices who are able
to prepare Home Reports and Energy Performance Certificates.
All of their valuers have been accredited through the RICS Valuer
Registration Scheme.
A Home Report is a combination of i) a Single Survey ii) a Mortgage
Valuation Report and iii) an Energy Performance Certificate.
The Single Survey document provides an assessment of the condition
of the home being sold. It contains information on areas where
repairs are needed. It also includes an accessibility information
section, together with a market value and insurance valuation of
the property. The survey itself is carried out by one of Graham +
Sibbald’s highly experienced surveyors.
The Mortgage Valuation section of the Home Report summarises
the information contained within the Single Survey and importantly
allows the report to be used by a prospective purchaser’s lender.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives information on how
energy efficient a building is and sets out cost-effective ways in which
its energy efficiency could be improved. An EPC must be provided to
any prospective buyer or tenant when a property is sold or rented.
Graham + Sibbald have specially trained surveyors in each of their
offices who are able to prepare EPCs.
“I called Graham + Sibbald to arrange a Home Report and it was
carried out the following day. Their timely professional service really
helped us in selling our home.” Ross Brunton, Graham + Sibbald
