Summary of the energy performance related features of this homeThis table sets out the results of the survey which lists the current energy-related features of this home. Each elementis assessed by the national calculation methodology; 1 star = very poor (least efficient), 2 stars = poor, 3 stars =average, 4 stars = good and 5 stars = very good (most efficient). The assessment does not take into consideration thecondition of an element and how well it is working. ‘Assumed’ means that the insulation could not be inspected and anassumption has been made in the methodology, based on age and type of construction.

Element Description Energy Efficiency Environmental

Walls Cavity wall, as built, insulated (assumed)

Roof Pitched, 300 mm loft insulationRoof room(s), ceiling insulated

Floor Solid, limited insulation (assumed)

Windows Fully double glazed

Main heating Boiler and radiators, oil

Main heating controls TRVs and bypass

Secondary heating None

Hot water From main system

Lighting Low energy lighting in 25% of fixed outlets

The energy efficiency rating of your homeYour Energy Efficiency Rating is calculated using the standard UK methodology, RdSAP. This calculates energy usedfor heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation and then applies fuel costs to that energy use to give an overall ratingfor your home. The rating is given on a scale of 1 to 100. Other than the cost of fuel for electrical appliances and forcooking, a building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to run.

As we all use our homes in different ways, the energy rating is calculated using standard occupancy assumptionswhich may be different from the way you use it. The rating also uses national weather information to allow comparisonbetween buildings in different parts of Scotland. However, to make information more relevant to your home, localweather data is used to calculate your energy use, CO2 emissions, running costs and the savings possible from makingimprovements.

The impact of your home on the environmentOne of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The energy we use for heating, lighting and powerin our homes produces over a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions. Different fuels produce different amountsof carbon dioxide for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy used. The Environmental Impact Rating of your home iscalculated by applying these 'carbon factors' for the fuels you use to your overall energy use.

The calculated emissions for your home are 62 kg CO2/m²/yr.

The average Scottish household produces about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Based on this assessment,heating and lighting this home currently produces approximately 7.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adoptingrecommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. If you were to install all of theserecommendations this could reduce emissions by 4.8 tonnes per year. You could reduce emissions even more byswitching to renewable energy sources.

About the recommended measures to improve your home’s performance ratingThis section offers additional information and advice on the recommended improvement measures for your home

1 Floor insulation (solid floor)Insulation of a floor will significantly reduce heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use andlower fuel bills. Insulating solid floors can present challenges; insulation laid on top of existing solid floors mayimpact on existing doors and finishes whilst lifting of a solid floor to insert insulation below will requireconsideration of the potential effect on both structural stability and damp proofing. It is advised to seek advicefrom a Chartered Structural Engineer or a registered Architect about this if unsure. Further information aboutfloor insulation is available from many sources including www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/scotland/Insulation/Floor-insulation. Building regulations generally apply to this work and may also require a building warrant so it is bestto check this with your local authority building standards department.

2 Low energy lightingReplacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over thelifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting lowenergy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of DomesticEnergy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.

3 Heating controls (room thermostat)The heating system should have a room thermostat to enable the boiler to switch off when no heat is required. Acompetent heating engineer should be asked to do this work. Insist that the thermostat switches off the boiler aswell as the pump and that the thermostatic radiator valve is removed from any radiator in the same room as thethermostat. Building regulations generally apply to this work and a building warrant may be required, so it is bestto obtain advice from your local authority building standards department and from a qualified heating engineer.

4 Condensing boilerA condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn lessfuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needsrepair or replacement, however there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensingboilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodellingthe room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchenmakeover). Building regulations generally apply to this work and a building warrant may be required, so it is bestto obtain advice from your local authority building standards department and from a qualified heating engineer.

5 Solar water heatingA solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to pre-heat the hot water supply. This cansignificantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money.Planning permission might be required, building regulations generally apply to this work and a building warrantmay be required, so it is best to check these with your local authority. You could be eligible for Renewable HeatIncentive payments which could appreciably increase the savings beyond those shown on your EPC, providedthat both the product and the installer are certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (or equivalent).Details of local MCS installers are available at www.microgenerationcertification.org.

6 Replacement glazing unitsReplacing existing double-glazed units with new high-performance units. Building regulations require thatreplacement glazing is to a standard no worse than previous and a building warrant is not required. Planningpermission might be required for such work if a building is listed or within a conservation area so it is best tocheck with your local authority.

7 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panelsA solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no wasteand no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased froman energy supplier. Planning permission might be required, building regulations generally apply to this work anda building warrant may be required, so it is best to check these with your local authority. The assessment doesnot include the effect of any Feed-in Tariff which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on thisEPC for solar photovoltaic panels, provided that both the product and the installer are certified by theMicrogeneration Certification Scheme (or equivalent). Details of local MCS installers are available atwww.microgenerationcertification.org.

Low and zero carbon (LZC) energy sources are sources of energy that release either very little or no carbon dioxideinto the atmosphere when they are used. Installing these sources may help reduce energy bills as well as cuttingcarbon.LZC energy sources present: There are none provided for this home


8 Wind turbineA wind turbine provides electricity from wind energy. This electricity is used throughout the home in the sameway as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. Wind turbines are not suitable for all properties. Thesystem’s effectiveness depends on local wind speeds and the presence of nearby obstructions, and a sitesurvey should be undertaken by an accredited installer. Planning permission might be required and buildingregulations generally apply to this work and a building warrant may be required, so it is best to check these withyour local authority. The assessment does not include the effect of any Feed-in Tariff which could appreciablyincrease the savings that are shown on this EPC for a wind turbine, provided that both the product and theinstaller are certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (or equivalent). Details of local MCS installersare available at www.microgenerationcertification.org.

PART 1 - GENERAL1.1 THE SURVEYORS

The Seller has engaged the Surveyors to provide the Single Survey Report and a generic MortgageValuation Report for Lending Purposes. The Seller has also engaged the Surveyors to provide anEnergy Report in the format prescribed by the accredited Energy Company.

The Surveyors are authorised to provide a transcript or retype of the generic Mortgage ValuationReport on to Lender specific pro-forma. Transcript reports are commonly requested by Brokers andLenders. The transcript report will be in the format required by the Lender but will contain the sameinformation, inspection date and valuation figure as the generic Mortgage Valuation Report and theSingle Survey. The Surveyors will decline any transcript request which requires the provision ofinformation additional to the information in the Report and the generic Mortgage Valuation Report untilthe Seller has conditionally accepted an offer to purchase made in writing.

Once the Seller has conditionally accepted an offer to purchase made in writing, the Purchaser'slender or conveyancer may request that the Surveyors provide general comment on standardappropriate supplementary documentation. In the event of a significant amount of documentationbeing provided to the Surveyors, an additional fee may be incurred by the Purchaser. Any additionalfee will be agreed in writing.

If information is provided to the Surveyors during the conveyancing process which materially affectsthe valuation stated in the Report and generic Mortgage Valuation Report, the Surveyors reserve theright to reconsider the valuation. Where the Surveyors require to amend the valuation in consequenceof such information, they will issue an amended Report and generic Mortgage Valuation Report to theSeller. It is the responsibility of the Seller to ensure that the amended Report and generic MortgageValuation Report are transmitted to every prospective Purchaser.

The individual Surveyor will be a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors who iscompetent to survey, value and report upon Residential Property .

If the Surveyors have had a previous business relationship within the past two years with the Seller orSellers Agent or relative to the property, they will be obliged to indicate this by ticking the adjacent box.

The Surveyors have a written complaints handling procedure. This is available from the offices of theSurveyors at the address stated.

THE REPORTThe Surveyors will not provide an amended Report on the Property, except to correct factualinaccuracies.

The Report will identify the nature and source of information relied upon in its preparation.

The Surveyor shall provide a Market Value of the Property, unless the condition of the Property is suchthat it would be inappropriate to do so. A final decision on whether a loan will be granted rests with theLender who may impose retentions in line with their lending criteria. The date of condition and valueof the property will be the date of inspection.

To date, Purchasers have normally obtained their own report from their chosen Surveyor. By contrast,a Single Survey is instructed by the Seller and made available to all potential Purchasers in theexpectation that the successful Purchaser will have relied upon it. The Royal Institution of CharteredSurveyors rules require disclosure of any potential conflict of interest when acting for the Seller andthe Purchaser in the same transaction. The Single Survey may give rise to a conflict of interest and ifthis is of concern to any party they are advised to seek their own independent advice.

1 Which shall be in accordance with the current RICS Valuation Standards (The Red Book) and RICS Rules of Conduct.

LIABILITYThe Report is prepared with the skill and care reasonably to be expected of a competent residentialsurveyor who is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

The Report is addressed to the Seller and was prepared in the expectation that it (or a complete copy)along with these Terms and Conditions (or a complete copy) would (or, as the case might be, wouldhave been) be disclosed and delivered to:-

The Surveyors acknowledge that their duty of skill and care in relation to the Report is owed to theSeller and to the Purchaser. The Surveyors accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever in relationto the Report to persons other than the Seller and the Purchaser. The Seller and Purchaser should beaware that if a Lender seeks to rely on this Report they do so at their own risk. In particular, theSurveyors accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever to any Lender in relation to the Report. Anysuch Lender relies upon the Report entirely at their own risk.

GENERIC MORTGAGE VALUATION REPORTThe Surveyors undertake to the Seller that they will prepare a generic Mortgage Valuation Report,which will be issued along with the Single Survey. It is the responsibility of the Seller to ensure thatthe generic Mortgage Valuation Report is provided to every potential Purchaser.

TRANSCRIPT MORTGAGE VALUATION FOR LENDING PURPOSESThe Surveyors undertake that on being asked to do so by a prospective purchaser, or his/herprofessional advisor or Lender, they will prepare a Transcript Mortgage Valuation Report for LendingPurposes on terms and conditions to be agreed between the Surveyors and Lender and solely for theuse of the Lender and upon which the Lender may rely.

The Surveyor will not carry out an asbestos inspection, and will not be acting as an asbestos inspectorin completing a Single Survey of properties that may fall within the Control of Asbestos in theWorkplace Regulations. In the case of flats it will be assumed that there is a duty holder, as defined inthe Regulations and that a Register of Asbestos and effective Management Plan is in place, whichdoes not require any expenditure, or pose a significant risk to health. No enquiry of the duty holder willbe made.

THE REPORTThe Report will be prepared by the Surveyor who carried out the property inspection and will describevarious aspects of the property as defined by the headings of the Single Survey report with thecomments being general and unbiased. The report on the location, style and condition of the property,will be concise and will be restricted to matters that could have a material effect upon value and willomit items that, in the Surveyor's opinion, are not significant. If certain minor matters are mentioned, itshould not be interpreted that the property is free of any other minor defects.

Throughout the report, the following repair categories will be used to give an overall opinion of thestate of repair and condition of the property.

WARNING:If left unattended, even for a relatively short period, Category 2 repairs can rapidly develop into moreserious Category 3 repairs. The existence of Category 2 or Category 3 repairs may have an adverseeffect on marketability, value and the sale price ultimately achieved for the property. This isparticularly true during slow market conditions when the effect can be considerable.

Parts of the property, which cannot be seen or accessed, will not be reported upon and this will bestated. If the Surveyor suspects that a defect may exist within an unexposed area and which couldhave a material effect upon the value, he may recommend further investigation by specialistcontractors.

SERVICESSurveyors are not equipped or qualified to test the services and therefore no comment can beinterpreted as implying that the design, installation and function of the services are inaccordance/compliance with regulations, safety and efficiency expectations. However, comment ismade where there is cause to suspect significant defects or shortcomings with the installations. Notests are made of any services or appliances.

VALUATION AND CONVEYANCER ISSUESThe last section of the Report contains matters considered relevant to the Conveyancer (Solicitor). Italso contains the Surveyor's opinion both of the market value of the property and of the re-instatementcost, as defined below.

"Market Value" is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuationbetween a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketingwherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. In arriving atthe opinion of the Market Value, the Surveyor also makes various standard assumptions covering, forexample, vacant possession; tenure and other legal considerations; contamination and hazardousmaterials; the condition of un-inspected parts; the right to use mains services; and the exclusion ofcurtains, carpets etc. from the valuation. In the case of flats, the following further assumptions aremade that:

Any additional assumption, or any found not to apply, is reported.

"Re-instatement cost" is an estimate for insurance purposes of the current cost of rebuilding theProperty in its present form unless otherwise stated. This includes the cost of rebuilding the garageand permanent outbuildings, site clearance and professional fees, but excludes VAT (except on thefees).

Sellers or prospective Purchasers may consider it prudent to instruct a reinspection and revaluationafter a period of 12 weeks (or sooner if appropriate) to reflect changing circumstances in the marketand/or in the physical condition of the Property.

This section identifies problems and tells you about the urgency of any repairs by using one of the following threecategories:

2. Condition

Page 7 of 15


Urgent repairs or replacement areneeded now. Failure to deal withthem may cause problems to otherparts of the property or cause asafety hazard. Estimates for repairsor replacement are needed now.

Repairs or replacement requiringfuture attention, but estimates arestill advised.

No immediate action or repair isneeded.

Structural movement

Repair category 1

No evidence of subsidence, heave or landslip identified within the property norare we aware of any such defects in neighbouring properties.

Notes

Dampness, rot and infestation

Repair category 1

The property would appear to have an effective Damp Proof Course and is freefrom both rising and penetrating damp. There was very slight evidence ofcondensation which we would attribute to the fact that the property has not beenpermanently occupied for some time allied to weather conditions prevalent at thistime of year.

Notes

Chimney stacks

Repair category 1

This was slightly weathered and as with all external elements it will requirecontinual maintenance.

Notes

Roofing including roof space

Repair category 2

There were some slipped slates on the roof covering. There was a defect in theleft hand side rear skew. Some of the flashings would benefit from being tampeddown. A competent roofing contractor with specific knowledge of this type ofproperty in this location should undertake a detailed inspection of the entire roofcovering and advise as to what remedial works are required to upgrade it and indoing so they should take cognisance of weather conditions that can occur in thisarea.

Rainwater fittings

Repair category 1

Whilst these appear to allow satisfactory discharge of rainwater there was asection in the rear elevation that requires to be realigned to allow properdischarge of rainwater.

Notes

Main walls

Repair category 1

Very slight surface cracking noted on walls. This is surface cracking only and notof a structural nature.

Notes

Windows, external doors and joinery

Repair category 1

Mastic round windows will require continual maintenance. Furthermore the sealshave been breached on one/two of the windows causing condensation to formbetween the two panes. Furthermore some of the opening catches would benefitfrom being eased this being caused again by the property not being permanentlyoccupied for some time.

Notes

External decorations

Repair category 1

Clearly the style and nature of decoration is dependent on an individuals tastesand requirements but notwithstanding this the standard of decoration iscommensurate with the age and style of the property.

Notes

Conservatories/porches

Repair category 2

The seals have been breached on a number of the double glazed windowscausing condensation to form between the two panes.

Garages and permanent outbuildings

Repair category 1

The timber shed was slightly weathered but appeared to be satisfactory forpurpose namely the storage of non-perishable items.

Notes

Outside areas and boundaries

Repair category 1

It is assumed that the garden will be maintained prior to sale. Within the gardenarea there is a hydro electric pole. If any prospective purchaser has anyconcerns in relation to the existence and effects of that pole then they mustundertake their own enquiries to satisfy any concerns they have.

Floors including sub-floors

Repair category 1

No evidence of defect noted albeit that our inspection of flooring was restricted bythe presence of fitted floor coverings.

Notes

Internal joinery and kitchen fittings

Repair category 1

The built-in fitments were not tested. Fitted units were slightly ill-fitting.Notes

Chimney breasts and fireplaces

Repair category 1

As previously stated there is a fireplace in the lounge but we understand that ithas been partially blocked off. It has been assumed that such works werecarried out in accordance with relevant legislation as at the time they wereundertaken, no authoritative comment can be made as to whether or not it would

be possible to reinstate the flue and thus the fireplace back into use and it isunderstood that it was only used as a fire using bottled gas. If such areintroduction is critical to an individuals enjoyment of the property then theyshould instruct their own contractor to determine whether or not it would bepossible or practical to do so.

Internal decorations

Repair category 1

Clearly the style and nature of decoration is dependent on an individuals tastesand requirements but notwithstanding this the standard of decoration is broadlycommensurate with current tastes although we accept that certain purchasersmay seek to undertake redecoration works.

Notes

Cellars

Repair category -


Electricity

Repair category 1

The distribution of power points is broadly satisfactory but it is now recommendedthat domestic wiring systems are examined and tested every fifth year to ensurethat they comply with relevant IET standards.

Notes

Gas

Repair category -


Water, plumbing and bathroom fittings

Repair category 1

These are broadly commensurate with current tastes but we would recommendthat the seal at the edge of the shower and at the edge of the bath be monitoredto ensure that there is no water seepage down the side of the bath/shower tray.We would stress that there was no evidence of defect and our comments areessentially of a precautionary/advisory nature.

Notes

Single Survey

of 15


Heating and hot water

Repair category 1

The heating system was not tested. It has been assumed that it has beenmaintained and serviced in accordance with manufacturers guidelines and theseller should provide confirmation that this is the case.

Notes

Drainage

Repair category 1

Foul drainage is to a septic tank. It has been assumed that this has beenregistered with the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. Surface drainageis to soakaways. By virtue of the property lying below the level of the adoptedroadway these will require continual maintenance not just because there will bewater run-off but also by virtue of weather conditions that can occur in this area.

Notes

Single Survey

Set out below is a summary of the condition of the property which is provided for reference only. You should refer tothe previous comments for detailed information.

RememberThe cost of repairs may influence the amount someone is prepared to pay for the property. We recommend thatrelevant estimates and reports are obtained in your own name.

WarningIf left unattended, even for a relatively short period, Category 2 repairs can rapidly develop into more seriousCategory 3 repairs. The existence of Category 2 or Category 3 repairs may have an adverse effect on marketability,value and the sale price ultimately achieved for the property. This is particularly true during slow market conditionswhere the effect can be considerable.

The Solicitor should confirm the following. That boundary fences present at the time of our inspection adequatelyreflect the titular area of the property. That there are no town planning, road widening or any other proposalswhich in anyway would adversely affect an individuals enjoyment of the property. That the septic tank has beenregistered with the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and that either it is located within the titular area ofthe property or if it is located outwith the titular area that all necessary servitudes are in place to allow that septictank to be used in conjunction with this property. We would also highlight the fact that there is an electric supplypole within the garden. The Solicitor to ascertain under what terms this pole is used and to advise anyprospective purchaser of those terms. The Solicitor to confirm that the property is to be sold with vacantpossession on the basis of absolute ownership. We assume a clear Property Enquiry Certificate shall beprovided in due course and that the property has a clear Title. We further assume that any necessary statutoryconsent for the property in its current state is in place. If this is not the case, these should be referred back to theSurveyor. The Solicitor must also ensure that any prospective purchaser fully understands the nature, criteriaand basis of a Home Report and in particular what a Home Report is and what it is not, and this should be donebefore any prospective purchaser makes an offer for this property based on the content of this report. If theSolicitor or purchaser requires any clarification in relation to this, they must contact the Surveyor or familiarisethemselves with the nature and criteria of this type of report.

It is recommended that the subjects be insured for a sum of not less than £242,500 (Two hundred and forty twothousand and five hundred pounds).

£210,000 (Two hundred and ten thousand pounds)

We would stress that this relates solely to the 'bricks and mortar' and no allowance has been made for anymoveable items that may or may not be included in the sale of this property.

As regards the state of the residential property market whilst in recent months there has been a slight upturn inactivity to date that has not manifested itself in any discernable increase in property prices. Furthermore it isbeyond the scope of this report to offer any authoritative comment as to the future performance of the residentialproperty market.
