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.

Roof (another dwelling above)

Floor (another dwelling below)

Windows Fully double glazed

Main heating Boiler and radiators, mains gas

Main heating controls Programmer, room thermostat and TRVs

Secondary heating Room heaters, mains gas

Lighting Low energy lighting in 71% 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 32 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 2.0 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 0.6 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 Internal or external wall insulationInternal or external wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to either the inside or the outside surfaceof the external walls, which reduces heat loss and lowers fuel bills. As it is more expensive than cavity wallinsulation it is only recommended for walls without a cavity, or where for technical reasons a cavity cannot befilled. Internal insulation, known as dry-lining, is where a layer of insulation is fixed to the inside surface ofexternal walls; this type of insulation is best applied when rooms require redecorating. External solid wallinsulation is the application of an insulant and a weather-protective finish to the outside of the wall. This mayimprove the look of the home, particularly where existing brickwork or rendering is poor, and will provide long-lasting weather protection. Further information can be obtained from the National Insulation Association(www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk). It should be noted that planning permission might be required andthat building regulations apply to this work so it is best to check with your local authority whether a buildingwarrant or planning permission will be required.

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.

Low and zero carbon energy sources

Your home's heat demand

You could receive Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments and help reduce carbon emissions by replacing yourexisting heating system with one that generates renewable heat and, where appropriate, having your loft insulated andcavity walls filled. The estimated energy required for space and water heating will form the basis of the payments. Formore information go to www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/scotland/rhi.

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.

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 decision as to whether finance will beprovided is entirely a matter for the Lender. The Transcript Mortgage Valuation Report will be frominformation contained in the Report and the generic Mortgage Valuation Report.

All references to visual inspection refer to an inspection from within the property at floor level and fromground level within the site and adjoining public areas, without the need to move any obstructions.Any references to left or right are taken facing the front of the property.

The Inspection is carried out with the Seller's permission, without causing damage to the building orcontents. Furniture, stored items and insulation are not moved.

Unless identified in the report the Surveyor will assume that no harmful or hazardous materials havebeen used in the construction. The presence or possible consequences of any site contamination willnot be researched.

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.

ENERGY REPORTA section is included that makes provision for an Energy Report, relative to the property. TheSurveyor will collect physical data from the property and provide such data in a format required by anaccredited Energy Company. The Surveyor cannot of course accept liability for any advice given bythe Energy Company.

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.


2.6

2.7

There are rights of access and exit over all communal roadways, corridors, stairways etc. and touse communal grounds, parking areas, and other facilities;

There are no particularly troublesome or unusual legal restrictions;

There is no current dispute between the occupiers of the flats or any outstanding claims or losses;and the costs of repairs to the building are shared among the co-proprietors on an equitablebasis.

This section tells you about the type, accommodation, neighbourhood, age and construction of the property. It alsotells you about the extent of the inspection and highlights anything that the surveyor could not inspect.

All references to visual inspection refer to an inspection from within the property without moving any obstructionsand externally from ground level within the site and adjoining public areas. Any references to left or right in adescription of the exterior of the property refer to the view of someone standing facing that part of the property fromthe outside.

The inspection is carried out without causing damage to the building or its contents and without endangering theoccupiers or the surveyor. Heavy furniture, stored items and insulation are not moved. Unless identified in the reportthe surveyor will assume that no harmful or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction.The presence or possible consequences of any site contamination will not be researched.

Services such as TV/cable connection, internet connection, swimming pools and other leisure facilities etc. will notbe inspected or reported on.

Single Survey

Sloping roofs were visually inspected with the aid ofbinoculars where appropriate.

Roof spaces were visually inspected and were entered wherethere was safe and reasonable access, normally defined asbeing from a 3m ladder within the property.

If this is not possible, then physical access to the roof spacemay be taken by other means if the Surveyor deems it safe andreasonable to do so.

The roof is of pitched design being timber framed and re-clad inconcrete interlocking tiles.

Inspection of the common roof void area is considered outwith thescope and extent of this report due to the position of the accesshatch in the ceiling at the top floor landing immediately adjacent tothe stairwell and health and safety considerations.


There is a lead lined parapet type gutter at the front wall head,draining to a mostly plastic but partly cast iron downpipe. Guttersand downpipes at the rear are carried in mainly modern plasticfittings.

Our inspection of the parapet gutter was severely restricted fromground level with only the edges of gutter linings being visible.


Foundations and concealed parts were not exposed orinspected.

The main outer walls are of 700mm thick solid sandstone masonryconstruction, faced with grey sandstone blockwork to the front, withroughcast render finishes to the exposed south gable. Internallywalls are strapped and lined with plasterboard.

Internal and external doors were opened and closed wherekeys were available.

Random windows were opened and closed where possible.

Doors and windows were not forced open.

The windows have been replaced with double glazed units in PVCframes.

There is a modern PVC door incorporating a small double glazedpane providing access to the flat from the common staircase.

The bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite comprising WC,wash hand basin and bath with overhead mixer shower. Walls aretiled.

Accessible parts of the system were visually inspected apartfrom communal systems, which were not inspected.


Hot water is provided by a recently installed condensing, gascombination boiler located wall mounted in the kitchen, this boileralso supplying hot water to a system of panel radiators throughoutthe flat controlled by means of a programmer, room thermostat andthermostatic radiator valves.

Drainage covers etc. were not lifted.

Neither drains nor drainage systems were tested.

Both foul and storm water drainage are assumed to be to the mainpublic sewer.

The flat is fitted with a smoke alarm.

For flats / maisonettes

Only the subject flat and internal communal areas givingaccess to the flat were inspected.

If the roof space or under-building / basement is communal,reasonable and safe access is not always possible. If noinspection was possible, this will be stated. If no inspectionwas possible, the surveyor will assume that there are nodefects that will have a material effect on the valuation.

The building containing the flat, including any externalcommunal areas, was visually inspected only to the extent thatthe surveyor is able to give an opinion on the generalcondition and standard of maintenance.

No access possible to the roof void area due to the position of theaccess hatch and health and safety considerations.

We have not carried out an inspection for Japanese Knotweed orother invasive plant species and unless otherwise stated for thepurposes of this report we have assumed that there is noJapanese Knotweed or other invasive plant species within theboundaries of the property or in neighbouring properties. Theidentification of Japanese Knotweed or other invasive plant speciesshould be made by a Specialist Contractor.

2. Condition

Page 7 of 14


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

The building exhibits signs of having suffered some structural movement in thepast. We can confirm that on the date of inspection we noted no visible evidenceto suggest any ongoing or progressive movement.

Notes

Dampness, rot and infestation

Repair category 3

Woodworm infestation was noted affecting visible flooring timbers and this mayextend elsewhere within the flat, but other flooring timbers were not visible due toclosely fitted floor coverings.

Staining and some vegetation growth were noted to stonework on the frontelevation below the parapet gutter indicative of some water leakage at theparapet gutter feature. Prolonged exposure of fabric to dampness could result inconcealed rot germination.

It is essential that a timber specialist contractor be asked to inspect and provide aquotation for woodworm treatments within the subject flat. It would also beprudent to arrange with the specialist contractor to carry out an inspection of thecommon roof void area given the history of leakage at the parapet gutteralthough for the purposes of this valuation we have assumed that inspection ofthe roof void would reveal no significant defect.

Notes

Chimney stacks

Repair category 1

Render finishes are affected by some hairline shrinkage cracking but otherwisewhen viewed from ground level the chimney head appeared free of significantdefect.

Roofing including roof space

Repair category 2

Some damage/deterioration is evident to the felt flashings/coverings at the southgable skew.

Notes

Rainwater fittings

Repair category 2

Guttering to the rear is choked with weeds.

Attention is again drawn to evidence of staining and vegetation noted below thefront parapet gutter, indicative of some water leakage. Gutter features of thistype require a high onus of care and maintenance as water leakage can putunderlying fabric at risk from rot. Regular checks are required to ensure timeousmaintenance.

Notes

Main walls

Repair category 2

Stonework to the front elevation is affected by some weathering and erosion.

Attention is again drawn to staining noted below the front parapet gutter and tothe risk of concealed defect where water leakage has occurred.

Notes

Windows, external doors and joinery

Repair category 2

The PVC door providing access to the flat from the common staircase will notcomply with current fire regulations.

Whilst there was no obvious defect on the date of our inspection, it should beappreciated that double glazed sealed units do have a limited life expectancy anddefective seals can lead to condensation between the panes necessitatingreplacement of the unit. This can sometimes only be obvious during adverseweather conditions.

Internal joinery and kitchen fittings

Repair category 1

Joinery finishes and kitchen fittings are affected by a degree of age related wearand tear but appeared serviceable.

Notes

Chimney breasts and fireplaces

Repair category 1

No evidence of obvious defect noted to the chimney breasts.

The Living Flame gas fire is understood to have been recently installed. On thedate of inspection the gas fire was not in use and has not been tested.

Notes

Internal decorations

Repair category 1

Decorative finishes are fresh with no significant defect noted.

We would draw attention to the existence within the subject property of areas of"Artex" decorative finishes."Artex" does, in some instances, contain high levels ofasbestos and if any sanding or removal of this material is being considered,appropriate precautions should be taken.

Notes

Cellars

Repair category -


Electricity

Repair category 1

In general, the electrical installation would appear to be adequate for presentusage although it should be appreciated that only the most recently constructedor rewired properties will have installations which fully comply with present IEERegulations.

Notes

Gas

Repair category 1

It is recommended that all gas appliances be subject to an initial check to ensurethat they are safe and comply with current Gas Safety Regulations. It isunderstood from the vendor that there is a current Gas Certificate this should beconfirmed. Thereafter all appliances should be maintained on an annual basis by

Gas Safe registered contractors.

Water, plumbing and bathroom fittings

Repair category 1

Sanitary fittings appeared serviceable.

Given the presence of the shower mounted over the bath it is essential that allwall linings and silicone seals are maintained in good condition. Failure to do socan lead to decay in wall strapping and timbers below the bath. As the bath isboxed in you will appreciate that it is not possible to comment on concealedlocations.

Notes

Heating and hot water

Repair category 1

On the date of inspection the system was not in use and no assurances aretherefore given as to its efficiency.

The system is of mixed vintage incorporating a modern boiler and a mid-agedradiator system. In the absence of a regular servicing contract it would beprudent to have a precautionary safety test of the system undertaken by asuitably qualified central heating engineer.

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 subjects comprise a first floor flat being the left hand or northmost in a three storey Victorian tenement styleproperty containing six flats, situated within a mainly residential area developed with broadly similar propertytypes a short distance to the south west of Greenock town centre, conveniently located for most local facilities.

When inspected within the limits imposed by fitted floor coverings the property was found to have beenadequately maintained having regard to its age and character. Although a number of items were noted, these forthe most part should be capable of remedy in the course of routine maintenance and upgrading.

The building is affected by a degree of localised structural movement consistent with age and type. This appearslongstanding with no obvious evidence of recent or continuing movement.

The property has been altered internally to form the present bathroom and kitchen accommodation and also thelarger hall cupboard. It is assumed that all necessary consents are available in respect of all alterations carriedout.

Guttering to the rear is choked with vegetation and staining and vegetation growth were noted to stonework onthe front elevation, indicative of water leakage from the parapet gutter. Where fabric has been exposed to longterm damp penetration, there is a risk of concealed defect. Gutter features of this type require a high onus ofcare and maintenance, with regular checks being required to ensure timeous maintenance.

There is evidence of woodworm infestation affecting visible flooring within the subject flat. A timber specialistcontractor should be asked to inspect and treat as required to a guaranteed treatment standard.

In view of the history of water leakage at the parapet gutter, it would also be prudent to arrange with the specialistcontractor to have an inspection of the common roof void area carried out although for the purposes of thisvaluation, we have assumed that inspection of the roof void would reveal no significant defect.
