Home Information Pack
Home Information Packs including Energy Performance Certificates will be implemented on a phased basis from 1 August 2007. From then Packs will be required for the sale of four bedroom properties and larger, with smaller properties being phased in later.
For sellers, providing a Pack upfront should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.
For buyers, the Pack provides essential information about properties they are considering buying, free of charge.
