What is the value of a Home Report by DM Hall ?
What is the value of a Home Report provided by DM Hall ?My Son bought a property in July 2023 and during the period to October 2023 it became clear that there had been, in the opinion of the independent Home Emergency technician, a long-term modest escape of water from the washing machine that had been in place some five years. This was confirmed, in terms of opinion, by the Damp Treatment surveyor who attended to deal with the damp problem. Most of the damage was around the lounge wall that backed on to the kitchen area where the washing machine was located.The Home Report prepared by DM Hall in January 2023 indicated that random damp testing had been completed where accessible. In the absence of any damp issue having been identified, my Son made a complaint to DM Hall and followed through the entire Complaints process up to and including the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). A Home Report, typically compulsory in Scotland for other than new builds, is paid for by the vendor, for the use of prospective purchasers but what value does it give ? How long does it remain valid ? DM Hall argued that nine months was too great a period for them to have any liability but how many homes are sold, title transferred, occupied and time be given to identify any problems in less than nine months ?In the course of their defence, DM Hall indicated that a wall behind which a washing machine was located was very much a high-risk location. Was this wall tested ? Well, the DM Hall Home Report was not transparent. It just maintained that random testing had taken place without giving any indication as to which walls had been tested. They also indicated that no testing would have taken place where damage might be caused to the property or injury to the Surveyor. This sought to explain the inability of their Surveyor to extend their arm beside the Settee in front of the ‘high risk’ wall to make contact with their damp meter. This transpired to be the very location of the greatest damp penetration.Finally, CEDR dismissed two independent ‘subjective opinions’ accepting the 'subjective opinion' of DM Hall, notwithstanding that there was no evidence as to which locations had been tested for damp. The final unsatisfactory element in this saga was that the Adjudicator included within their preliminary decision that 21 months had elapsed between the Home Report being prepared and the damage having been exacerbated and was too great a period for any liability to attach to DM Hall. Of course, there had been only 9 months between the two dates. Despite this very obvious error, the adjudicator saw no reason for it to impact their final conclusion.To revert to my initial question as to the value to be derived from a DM Hall Home Report, my own conclusion is that there seems to be very little value either to the vendor who pays for it nor to the buyer. The buyer apparently really needs to consider getting their own survey immediately prior to purchase, given that months might have passed between the Home Report survey and a prospective buyer being found. Another failed initiative on the part of the current Holyrood Administration!Note to DM Hall - transparency, transparency, transparency !
