Your Edinburgh buyer pack

A printable preparation pack, not a survey or legal advice.

Combines selected street checks, viewing questions and optional cost scenarios. It does not assess an individual home. Use Print / Save as PDF in your browser; no PDF service or account is needed.

Anyone with a shared link can see the streets and figures in it, so leave out anything confidential. Opening a pack does not change your saved shortlist. Privacy · Edit your shortlist.

One purchase scenario for this pack

Optional: these figures are not prices or liabilities for each street. Leave an amount blank to omit that estimate.

One shared-repair illustration

The optional shared-repairs illustration is for flats and shared buildings. Skip it for a home without shared repair liabilities.

Qualifying structural / roof costs only: the statutory 1.5-times floor-area test may apply. Title deeds take priority.

Edinburgh Estate AgentBuyer preparation pack

Not a survey, valuation, legal or tax advice. Street flags are area context, not findings about the property. Missing flags are not an all-clear. Confirm the exact address, Home Report, title deeds, notices and buyer circumstances with your solicitor and surveyor.
