Make Property Sellers Disclose Full House Info Before Listing
Background
Buying a home shouldn’t be a gamble. Right now, buyers must pay hundreds for surveys—only to discover hidden problems after making offers. We want sellers to provide a full, professional property report before listing, so buyers know exactly what they’re getting.
Additional details
We’re Asking For A Property Information Dossier (PID) for every home listed. Paid for by seller Includes survey results, structure, energy rating, risks, planning, tenure, defects Available when listed Scotland has a Single Survey system. It’s public, reusable, and makes buying far more transparent. Saves buyers money and stress Cuts failed sales/wasted surveys Promotes honesty/transparency Makes the market fairer/efficient You wouldn’t buy a car without knowing the details
