Home information packs (Hips) will no longer be required from today, the new coalition Government has announced.
Housing minister Grant Shapps said: "Today the new Government is ensuring that home information packs are history.
"This is a great example of how we are determined to get straight down to work and cut pointless red tape which is strangling the market.
"By suspending home information packs today, it means that home sellers will be able to get on with marketing their home without having to shell out hundreds of pounds upfront.
