FORUM has just received the following update regarding Home Information Packs from the Chief Executive of the National Association of Estate Agents :

I am pleased to report that the Housing Minister has been listening to us and has just announced that the current temporary arrangements with regard to the Home Information Packs will be extended until 31st December 2008.

In effect this means things carry on as now and that you can continue to market the property providing you have commissioned the HIP and agreed payment. There is still, therefore, no requirement to include full leasehold information within the HIP...

Regards

Peter Bolton King
Group Chief Executive
