Home Information Packs
The Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. Home Information Packs including Energy Performance Certificates have been implemented from 1st August 2007.
For sellers, providing a Pack up front 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.
The pack must contain the following:
Index
Energy Performance Certificate
Sale Statement
Property Information Questionnaire
Title documents for the property
Local Authority and drainage searches
If the property is leasehold or commonhold, then the pack must also include the following:
Copy of the lease
Building insurance policy
Contact details for the landlord or management and any legal details
Regulations that apply
Recent service charge receipts and accounts
