New Government HIP website

The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG - formerly ODPM) has created a dedicated website - www.homeinformationpacks.gov.uk - for those involved in the industry.  The site provides detailed, up-to-date information, including case studies, FAQs, leaflets, regular e-newsletters, event details and other useful links. From 1 June 2007, homeowners will be required to provide a Home Information Pack when marketing their homes for sale throughout England and Wales. The Packs are designed to remove the estimated £1 million which is wasted each day due to failed transactions.
