Home Information Packs

As you may be aware, from the 1 August 2007 government legislation made it illegal to put your home on the market without first commissioning a Home Information Pack. The legislation originally related to houses with 4 bedrooms or more but now affects all properties.

From the 6 April 2009 a completed Home Information Pack will be required from the first day a property is marketed.

In addition the Home Information Pack must contain a new Property Information Questionnaire. This will cover such issues as flood risks, gas and electrical safety, structural damage, parking arrangements, new build information and leasehold information (where applicable).

We at Franklin & Co are able to provide a Home Information Pack prior to your property being marketed. Home Information Packs contain a large amount of complex legal information and solicitors are best placed to prepare and interpret these packs.

We can provide a Home Information Pack for your next sale that:

is compliant with Home Information Pack legislation

is competitively priced.

Before placing your property on the market either privately or through an agent please contact us to discuss how a Home Information Pack prepared by us can benefit you.
