Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 May 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Housing.
Housing
My hon. Friend makes a very good point. When home information packs were originally introduced, they were sold to us as helping the first-time buyer and relieving that buyer of the obligation or requirement to have a valuation or survey. As matters stand, they do not help first-time buyers in any way at all: indeed, first-time buyers will still require a valuation and a survey and will still have to pay for the additional document, while nothing will be done to reduce the risk of gazumping.
