Since 14 December 2007 every home put on the market, no matter what size, must have a Home Information Pack. It brings together valuable information at the start of the process – such as a sale statement, local searches and evidence of title – which could save you money, time and stress. The Pack also includes an Energy Performance Certificate that contains advice on how to cut CO2 emissions and fuel bills. Make sure your estate agent shows you the Pack and reveals any hidden fees.
