The Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. Home Information Packs including
Energy Performance Certificates are now cumpulsary on all properties offered for sale. (Energy Performance Certificates are
requied for all rental properties.)
Properties marketed for sale from 6th April 2009 in England and Wales will need a Home Information Pack in place prior
to being marketed and inclue a new item "Property Information Questionaire" completed by the seller.
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.
