Propertymark have a role in shaping improvements and tirelessly advocating for the interests of their members and have been instrumental throughout the development of this guidance.
Here are the main points NTSELAT have advised that a buyer/tenant need to know in order to make an informed decision:
Part A: Essential Property Details
Council tax band or rate
Property price or rent
Tenure information (for sales)
Details of deposit payable (lettings)
Part B: Physical Characteristics and Utilities
Physical characteristics of the property, including type and construction
Number and types of rooms, along with room measurements
Utilities and how they are supplied
Parking facilities
Part C: Safety, Restrictions, and Additional Considerations
Building safety considerations, such as unsafe cladding, asbestos, and risk of collapse
Restrictions, such as conservation area status, listed building classification, and tree preservation orders
Rights and easements, including public rights of way and shared drives
Environmental risks, including flood and coastal erosion risks
Planning permission details for the property and its immediate locality
Accessibility and adaptations, such as step-free access, wet rooms, and essential living accommodation on entrance level
Special considerations for properties in coalfield or mining areas
This comprehensive approach ensures that potential buyers and tenants have access to a wealth of information critical to their decision-making process.
This initiative not only meets legal obligations but also represents a collective effort to prioritize consumer protection and satisfaction in the property market. As an agency we have always supplied material information on our listings and will be focusing more on adding the construction information.
