About the Book

The government is committed to making the provision of Home Information Packs a compulsory part of the conveyancing process from June 2007. This book is designed for solicitors and property professionals who need to understand the legal issues and practical implications so that they can prepare their practices and remain competitive in a changing marketplace. It provides an authoritative commentary to Part 5 of the Housing Act 2004 and the subsidiary regulations which contain the detail of how the Home Information Packs system will operate, and gives an informed and clear analysis of the: content of Home Information Packs; collation and accuracy of information for the Packs; enforcement and sanctions; possible solutions for breaches; and proposals for a 'dry run' and transitional provisions. The implications of Home Information Packs and the changes required to current practice will be considered from the different perspectives of the parties involved - the buyers, sellers, conveyancers, surveyors, and estate agents.
