How can ESPC help you with Home Reports?

What is the process for obtaining a Home Report?

Your ESPC solicitor estate agent can arrange your Home Report at the same time as preparing your property for going on the market.

You as the seller will complete the Property Questionnaire, with the help of your solicitor if required. The Single Survey and Energy Report will be completed by a surveyor, instructed by your solicitor.

ESPC will create an online Home Report for your property once all the elements are complete. This can then be viewed by potential buyers on request from your solicitor. You will have the option to order hard copy versions. It may be useful to keep a copy at your property to have on hand for viewers.

How will I pay for a Home Report?

To ease any upfront payment issues that may be incurred when a property is marketed, ESPC Home Reports will have a range of finance options. One option will allow you to defer payments until your property is sold or for up to 10 months. This will also allow you to include other marketing costs (such as schedules or any additional advertising) in the deferred payment, therefore incurring no initial charges. Paying upfront will also be an option if you wish.

Why choose ESPC Home Reports?

  • Prompt instruction of the Single Survey and Energy Report and fast delivery of the completed report which will allow your property to be marketed as soon as possible.
  • High quality presentation of your home in both electronic and hard copy format.
  • A range of payment options to ease any upfront payment options.

How can I view a Home Report?

Whether you are able to view the Home Report online via espc.com is dependent upon the wishes of the seller or the solicitor estate agent. Some will choose to make their Home Report available via espc.com and others will have access via their agent.

If a property listing has a Home Report available, just click on the Home Report button on the property details page and enter your contact details (your contact details are required as the solicitor needs to know who has accessed and viewed each Home Report in order for you to be sent an updated version if any changes are made to the document). Once you submit your details, either you will be sent a link to the Home Report to allow you to view the Home Report online if it is available, or an email will be sent to the solicitor estate agent saying you have requested a copy. The agent will then forward on to you a link to the Home Report or will get in touch if payment is required.
