Home Information Pack Contents

The Home Information Pack will include the following items and be available in a variety of formats.

1. Evidence of title – official supporting documentation from the HM Land Registry or other supporting documents if the title is not registered.

2. Local and Water Searches – a range of reports the property including any proposed land changes and the authorised use of a property.

3. An optional Home Condition Report (HCR) - based on a professional survey of the property, including an energy efficiency assessment. The HCR will be a ‘mid-range’ inspection outlining defects in a property i.e. the exterior, internal condition, services, grounds and out buildings. The report will be summarised by outlining if repair is needed (non-urgent but required or serious needing urgent repair) or if only general maintenance is required.

4. The energy efficiency assessment will produce information not unlike what is found on electrical appliances and more recently cars where areas of efficiency are graded alphabetically.

5. Additional information is needed for leasehold and commonhold properties - a copy of the lease is optional.
