What happens to properties in rural areas which often take longer to sell?
In the circumstance where a house has been on the market for a long period since the Single Survey was undertaken, it is open to the seller to commission the surveyor to refresh’ the Single Survey in order to attract more buyers. If that has not happened, a potential buyer may choose simply to get an updated valuation, whilst benefiting from the information on property condition in the Single Survey and the rest of the information in the Home Report.
