In this week's episode of ESPC's First-timers Club we are talking about Home Reports. Megan is joined by Kirsten Nicolson, a Director at DM Hall.

In Scotland, it is a legal requirement for sellers to have a Home Report for their property. This allows prospective buyers the chance to find out more about the structural condition of the home and alerts them to any issues that they face if they were to purchase the property.

During this episode Kirsten explains what a Home Report includes, how to read it and what first-time buyers should look out for.
