– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 18 March 2005.
Question S2W-15102
To ask the Scottish Executive what the advantages and disadvantages of the single seller survey are, based on research into the 74 cases in the pilot study.
The Housing Improvement Task Force identified advantages of a single survey in three areas. Firstly, it will provide home sellers and prospective buyers with better information on property condition, to provide a mechanism to address disrepair in the privately owned housing stock. Secondly, it will remove the need for prospective buyers to pay for multiple condition surveys. Thirdly, it will discourage the setting of artificially low upset prices. The evaluation of the pilot will provide further information to inform the design of the final scheme.
