The Home Condition Report (HCR)

What is it?

 

The Home Condition Report (HCR) is an assessment of the condition and construction of a property. It is an internal and external inspection of the buildings and services for a property.

As part of a comprehensive service, we recommend all vendors consider obtaining an HCR.
