Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative). It was answered by Baroness Andrews (Labour) on Monday, 23 March 2009.
Housing: Home Information Packs
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, in the light of current housing market conditions, they will abandon the requirement to provide home information packs. My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper. In doing so, I declare an interest as I own a small number of farm cottages.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the current problems facing the housing market were caused not by HIPs but by the global economic downturn. Independent research undertaken by Europe Economics found no evidence of any impact by HIPs on transactions or prices.
