What the Home Report value means
The Home Report valuation is the surveyor’s opinion of market value at the date of inspection. Buyers, sellers and lenders may all use it differently.
It helps shape pricing strategy before marketing and can influence buyer confidence.
It gives a benchmark for offers, especially where asking prices or closing dates move quickly.
Mortgage lenders may consider the Home Report valuation when assessing lending.
Comparing values against condition and repair risks can change which property looks best value.
Compare value, condition and repairs together
A higher Home Report value does not automatically mean a better purchase. Buyers should compare condition ratings, EPC performance, shared repairs, estimated works and solicitor points before deciding what to offer.
