The aim is simple: introduce incremental Home Report opportunities your firm may never otherwise have seen.

Why use Home Report Compare?
Keep every channel you already have. Add another one.
Home Report Compare is designed to complement the relationships and referral channels you already have. Our focus is on reaching homeowners who are arranging a Home Report independently or outside the normal local referral journey — creating additional opportunities rather than asking you to replace the channels that already work.
Incremental instructions
Gain access to homeowner enquiries generated through our own marketing — including opportunities that may never have reached your firm through an existing agent, solicitor or direct relationship.
Instant or manual quoting
Automate straightforward opportunities, review everything manually, or use a hybrid approach. Instant quoting can keep suitable opportunities moving outside office hours, at weekends and while branch teams are unavailable.
Measurable new-business channel
Track opportunities, quotes, wins and conversion so you can see what the channel is producing.
Partner-first modelBuilt around successful instructions.
The model is designed to align with the outcome that matters to your firm: winning new Home Report business. Suitable opportunities can be received and quoted without a lead fee, with the commercial model applying only when a homeowner actually instructs your firm.
No fee to receiveNo fee to quoteAligned to instructions won
Marketing to homeowners across ScotlandGeographic illustration of Scotland — partner matching is based on the areas each firm agrees to cover.
Our marketing reach
We find the homeowner. You decide whether you want the instruction.
Home Report Compare combines technical capability, marketing expertise, SEO experience and practical knowledge of the Scottish property market to find homeowners who may sit outside the traditional local referral journey — and turn that demand into suitable Home Report opportunities for partner firms.
1
Specialist homeowner acquisitionOur digital, marketing and SEO expertise is focused on finding Scottish homeowners with genuine Home Report intent — particularly those researching, comparing or arranging a report independently.
2
Local matchingWhen a homeowner requests quotes, we can match the opportunity to firms covering that area.
3
An extension of your marketingThink of Home Report Compare as an additional acquisition channel working alongside your own brand and relationships.
Where the incremental demand comes from
Homeowners who may never reach you through your existing referral network.
A valuable part of the market sits outside established local referral relationships. Some sellers begin by searching independently; others use out-of-area professionals, online agencies, or simply prefer to compare their options. Home Report Compare is designed to bring more of these homeowner journeys into view for suitable partner firms.
Searching independently
Homeowners using Google or other online research to find a surveyor themselves rather than simply accepting a recommendation.
Comparing before they choose
People checking Home Report costs, availability, reviews and local options before deciding who to instruct.
Unsure who to use
Sellers who know they need a Home Report but do not yet have a surveyor relationship or trusted local recommendation.
Not yet tied to a local agent
Homeowners arranging a Home Report before choosing an estate agent, or using an online or hybrid agency with a different referral model.
Outside local solicitor networks
Clients using an out-of-town solicitor, a firm with no preferred local surveyor, or a solicitor who does not strongly direct Home Report work.
Executries and unusual referral routes
Executors, trustees or families dealing with a Scottish property from elsewhere in the UK may have no established local agent, solicitor or surveyor relationship.
Choosing independently of a recommendation
Some homeowners will still compare alternatives even where a surveyor has been suggested, particularly where price, availability or reputation matters to them.
Other fragmented homeowner journeys
Relocations, private introductions, inherited properties and sellers dealing with professionals outside the property’s local area can all create gaps in traditional referral networks.
What the channel is designed to doSurface relevant homeowner demand beyond the routes you already rely on.
The focus is on genuine Home Report enquiries rather than volume for volume’s sake. We use market knowledge, marketing expertise, SEO and technology to reach homeowners whose journey may not flow neatly through established local referral relationships, then match suitable opportunities to partner firms.
An additional route to market
Reach homeowners beyond your existing referral network.
Home Report Compare is intended to sit alongside the business you already receive from estate agents, solicitors and direct clients. Our role is to extend your reach to homeowners we acquire through our own marketing — particularly those who are not already moving through a strong local referral relationship.

Give homeowners reasons to choose you beyond the lowest fee.

The objective is to help homeowners compare the overall proposition — not to create a race to the lowest fee. Price is one factor alongside reputation, local presence, availability, distance and the strength of your firm.

Fixed £50 success fee regardless of the Home Report fee or property value. VAT treatment is confirmed in the partner agreement.
A deliberately limited partner panel
We are building a select group of established Scottish surveying firms. Homeowners should see a manageable shortlist of suitable options — not dozens of firms competing in a price auction.
Simple to get started
Tell us where you cover. We’ll do the rest.
Getting your firm set up should require very little time from your team. Simply let us know which postcode areas are covered by each branch and we can configure your partner profile, matching and coverage for you. If you would like to offer instant quotes, let us know your Home Report fee scales too and we can set up the initial pricing rules for your review.
Your coverage
Let us know the postcode areas covered by each branch. We use these to configure where your firm can be matched to homeowner requests.
Your pricing, if required
If you want instant quoting, let us know your normal Home Report fee scales and any straightforward pricing or eligibility rules you want us to apply.
We configure everything
We set up your branches, coverage, company profile and agreed quoting rules. You can review everything before it goes live and adjust it over time.
Minimal setup from your team. No integration project and no lengthy onboarding process — we do the configuration so your branches can be ready to receive suitable opportunities with minimal disruption.
Built for long-term partnership
A new acquisition channel designed to grow alongside your firm.
Home Report Compare is being built as a long-term route between Scottish homeowners and established surveying firms.
