Summary

This paper contains proposals for consultation on:

  • the leasehold requirements in the Home Information Pack (HIP) (Part 1)
  • the inclusion of the Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) in the HIP (Part 2)

From March 2003 to June 2003 a full formal consultation exercise was carried out on the contents of the HIP including the 'Home Use Form' currently authorised for inclusion. This fed into the development of the HIP Regulations. The proposals on leasehold requirements within the HIP and on the PIQ therefore take forward existing policy and have been developed with industry and consumer representatives. This consultation concerns how we plan to implement those proposals and will therefore run for nine weeks.

In accordance with the code of practice on consultations, the accompanying Impact Assessment (IA) is at Annex 1.
