Make Property Sellers Disclose Full House Info Before Listing
Buying a home shouldn’t be a gamble.
Right now, buyers must pay hundreds for surveys—only to discover hidden problems after making offers.
We want sellers to provide a full, professional property report before listing, so buyers know exactly what they’re getting.
We’re Asking For
A Property Information Dossier (PID) for every home listed.
Paid for by seller
Includes survey results, structure, energy rating, risks, planning, tenure, defects
Available when listed
Scotland has a Single Survey system.
It’s public, reusable, and makes buying far more transparent.
Saves buyers money and stress
Cuts failed sales/wasted surveys
Promotes honesty/transparency
Makes the market fairer/efficient
You wouldn’t buy a car without knowing the details
