About Home Report Compare

Helping Scotland's buyers and sellers make clearer property decisions

Home Report Compare was created to bring Home Report quotes, property tools, cost calculators, guides and useful market insight together in one place for people buying or selling in Scotland. Our comparison tools use our own structured approach, shaped by real Home Report insight rather than a generic property checklist.

Based in Scotland. Built around practical property experience, local knowledge and a clearer way to compare your options.

Unique comparison technology

Our own intelligent algorithm, informed by real Home Report insight

The comparison tool is designed to do more than extract text from uploaded reports. It uses our own structured logic to organise condition ratings, EPC information, valuation context and likely follow-on cost areas into a clearer buyer-friendly summary.

01 Proprietary analysis

Our scoring logic is built around the practical differences that matter when comparing several Scottish Home Reports side by side.

02 Experience-led recommendations

The outputs are shaped by years of interpreting survey findings, understanding how reports influence buyer decisions and seeing which issues matter most in real transactions.

03 Clearer next questions

The aim is to help users spot the areas worth discussing with their surveyor, solicitor, estate agent or mortgage adviser before deciding.

Why we built Home Report Compare

Property decisions are easier when the right information is in one place

Buying or selling a home can involve several costs, professional services and decisions. We created Home Report Compare to make that process easier to understand, easier to compare and easier to act on, using real property experience supported by modern technology.

Our purpose

To give buyers and sellers more clarity before they move

Many sellers are introduced to a surveyor through their estate agent, which can be helpful. However, prices and options are not always easy to compare, especially when several agents may each recommend a different route.

Over the years, we have commissioned thousands of Home Reports and assessed each one individually. We have also spent years helping buyers understand what report findings might mean in practical terms, including obtaining quotations from local contractors the old-fashioned way so buyers could understand potential costs more clearly.

Home Report Compare takes that hands-on experience and uses technology to make it easier for you to compare quotes, review reports, understand costs and find trusted property professionals.

Experience behind the platform

Based in Scotland, with first-hand Home Report market experience

This service has been shaped by decades of property experience and a long background in using technology to make complex information easier to compare, understand and act on.

1
Scottish property experience

Over three decades of experience across the Scottish property market, including estate agency, property marketing and customer-facing property services.

2
Home Reports from the beginning

Our involvement with surveyors began before Home Reports were introduced in Scotland and continued through the early Home Report era, giving us first-hand insight into how the process works and the questions sellers often ask.

3
Digital tools that simplify decisions

More than two decades of tech experience has helped us design a platform that brings quotes, calculators, resources and our own report comparison logic together.

Hands-on experience

From personal report reviews to smarter property tools

Before technology made this type of comparison possible, much of the work was manual: instructing reports, reviewing findings, speaking with surveyors, asking solicitors for guidance and obtaining local contractor quotations to help buyers understand potential costs.

That experience is now built into the thinking behind Home Report Compare and the way our comparison algorithm organises report findings. We want to make it easier to compare trusted professionals, understand report findings and access useful cost information without having to piece everything together yourself.
