Hi I have had a quick look but cant find any threads to answer my question. I am viewing a house tomoro i know i will like but have just found it has no Home Report (Scotland). I know this means it has been on sale a while and hopefuly i can use this to my advantage but what happens next? Would it be up to us to survey it or should i expect the seller to? Thanks

I think you have to speak to your lender to find out. I was recently advised my our lender, nationwide that if a property we liked (when we sell) does not have a home report then we would have to pay them to get their surveyor out to survey the house. Best to check.MFIT T2 Challenge - No 46

You'll probably have to pay for a survey yourself.
No HR means the property has been CONTINUOUSLY on the market since before 1 Dec 2008......
If you like the house, and want to offer, your solicitor will no doubt make the offer 'subject to survey'. You have hired a solicitor, haven't you? One who is local to the market you're buying in?0 -
If the owners haven't paid for an HR in all this time, they're not going to pay for a survey for you, I wouldn't think.....0
