Andrew Dyke & Associates Ltd

A management consultancy focused on the IT needs of

smaller businesses and professional practices
Our Home Reporter packages offer an easier and cost-effective way to produce RICS HomeBuyer Reports. You must have a personal computer running Microsoft Word (but see note below) - you don't need to learn a different wordprocessing package.

Home Reporter

  • saves you money by printing your reports on plain paper. allows each text box to expand to accommodate
  • the amount of text you are entering - you never have to use continuation pages.
  • will, when you have finished your Report, pick up all the condition ratings you have entered and complete the summary in section C automatically for you.
  • is supplied fully customised with your practice details - surveyor's name, qualifications and RICS number, and practice name, address, phone and fax numbers, email and website - so that you do not have to type this in every time. The multi-surveyor version allows a choice of surveyor and, where necessary, of office address.
  • produces a Word document with all of Word's formatting functionality.
  • can be used with Word's Autotext feature, which many surveyors use to store their own standard phrases and paragraphs.
  • produces Reports that can be emailed.

Home Reporter enhances the image of your firm by producing crisp clear reports that your clients will appreciate. We can add your firm's logo if you wish.

Home Reporter now comes in two versions - Home Reporter 2009, which provides a blank report form, and Home Reporter Plus, which is integrated with HBR SurveyAssist, a comprehensive set of standard paragraphs and reminders. Find out more and try them out.

We are proud to announce that OutSec is now working as a partner with Andrew Dyke & Associates Ltd in order to provide an integrated outsourced typing service. OutSec will transcribe and create HomeBuyer Reports using a copy of the customised Home Reporter software that you purchase from us, and we make no additional charge for including them within your Home Reporter licence. OutSec offer a cost-effective online British solution to your secretarial problems.

Note: Home Reporter 2009 requires a PC running any version of Word from 2000 onwards. Home Reporter Plus requires Word 2003, 2007 or 2010.
