Summary

Note: This sample pack was originally published in July 2007 and was updated in April 2009.  The amended version includes a Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) and an amended Index.

About this pack

  • Under the Home Information Pack (No. 2) Regulations 2007, you must include an index which lists all the documents included in your Home Information Pack.
  • You may use this form as an index. Required documents need to be included in all cases where relevant: authorised documents do not. Please seek professional advice if you are unsure about what to include in your Home Information Pack.
  • All the documents in your Home Information Pack must be listed in the index, whether or not they are required or authorised.
  • Where a document required by the Regulations is unavailable or unobtainable, the index should indicate that a required document is missing, which document it is and the reason why. 
  • Where the document exists and can be obtained, the index should indicate the steps being taken to obtain it and the date by which you expect to obtain the document, updating this date if it changes. It should also indicate the reason for a delay or any likely delay. 
  • The index to your Home Information Pack should be updated whenever the pack or a pack document is added or removed. 
  • Someone can complete this form on behalf of a seller.
  • The Regulations tell you what documents are required to go in the Home Information Pack, and which documents are authorised to be included. Documents that are neither required or authorised should not be included in the Pack and advertising material should not be included.
