A HCR is a voluntary document and for the average property will cost approximately £200 - £250 on top of the required documents. Many buyers and sellers have found them very useful in the trials. You might consider using a HCR if you believe:
- Your property is in good condition, you want a quick sale and you want to show potential purchasers that there are not hidden problems.
- That your property is in better condition than others in the area, or has significant features that will help you achieve a better price.
- Your property needs work in some areas and you want to identify these in an objective way, thereby stopping purchasers trying to drive down the price by over-exaggerating the costs involved.
