Know what your Home Report really says — before you offer.

We've run two real Home Reports through the full Croft Panel — one in Glasgow, one in Edinburgh. Every finding, every cost estimate, every flag a buyer might have missed.

A fair question

Why wouldn't I just paste my Home Report into ChatGPT?

You could, and you'd get something back. The question is whether you'd trust it enough to make a £250,000 decision on it.

A general chatbot reads your Home Report once, in one pass, with no particular expertise and no memory of what a good or bad one looks like. It'll summarise. It'll sound confident. It will also quietly miss things, because nothing in it is specifically looking for them.

Croft runs your report past five specialists, each with a single job:

  • Snag Spotterhunts the Category 2s that get glossed over
  • Fine Printreads the legal detail in the Property Questionnaire
  • Number Cruncherinterrogates the valuation
  • The Localputs the property in its area context
  • Renovation Realistcosts the repairs at real Scottish trade rates

A sixth, The Chair, reconciles where they disagree and tells you what actually matters. Those roles have been built, tested and refined over months against real Scottish Home Reports, so the same checks run every time. Ask a general chatbot the same question twice and you'll get two different answers.

There's also context. A Category 2 for damp means little on its own — what matters is whether it's routine for a 1930s semi or a genuine outlier. Croft reads your report against Scottish Home Report benchmarks and surveyor convention, so you get the difference between "there's a repair noted" and "this is worse than typical, and here's what it's likely to cost you."

And it comes back as a PDF you can put in front of your solicitor when you're negotiating — not a chat window you have to screenshot.

Frequently asked questions

A Home Report is a set of documents Scottish sellers must provide, covering a single survey, an Energy Performance Certificate, and a property questionnaire. It's dense and full of surveyor caveats — Croft turns it into a plain-English breakdown.

No. Croft doesn't replace your surveyor — it translates them. We analyse the existing Home Report to flag risks, costs, and negotiation points, but you should still rely on your solicitor and surveyor for anything legally or structurally significant.

Your report stays in your account until you choose to delete it — you're always in control and can remove any report at any time from your reports list. We don't share your report or its contents with anyone else.

It tells you how many issues we found and how serious they are, whether there's anything notable about the price versus the surveyor's valuation, and The Chair's one-line verdict — plus one real finding from your report, named and costed, so you can see exactly what the full analysis looks like. The full analysis covers every issue and what to do about it.

You can run up to 10 free overviews a month — more than enough for any property search. Analysing at higher volume? Get in touch at hello@trycroft.co.uk.

Yes, six months from purchase — a realistic window for a Scottish property search. Unused analyses don't roll over.

Every paid analysis comes with a branded PDF that's yours to keep forever, even if you stop using Croft.

Croft is built for Scottish Home Reports in PDF format, including the single survey, EPC and property questionnaire. If your PDF is scanned or password-protected, extraction may not work — try a text-based export instead.
