Yes, if youre selling in Scotland, then you will still require a Home Report. The plans to scrap HIPs in England in Wales do not affect Scotland. The new coalition has no has no control over the Home Report legislation which is governed through the Scottish Parliament. Home Reports and Home Information Packs (HIPs) are in fact very different, the HIP does not include a valuation or survey. There are no plans to scrap the successful Home Report system as the Scottish Government remains committed to Home Reports.
