Why It Might Still Be Worth Having a Home Condition Report

OK, so the Government bottled out and backed down on making Home Condition Reports mandatory (for now at least). However, is it still worth having one done?
The answer is, yes it can be.
If you are selling a property you should always try to provide as much useful information to buyers as possible - as long as it helps sell your home.
There will still be lots of companies around who will provide the full packs and if having one allows you to put one over the competition – i.e. your neighbours trying to sell their houses – then so much the better.
It may cost you a few hundred pounds for a detailed home condition report, but that could be small beer if it helps sell the property at say £2,000 more - and sell it quickly too.
