Summary
The Government was under attack yesterday for making more changes to its controversial plan to force property sellers to pay around pounds 500 for home information packs. The new rules are due to come into force on June 1, but the Department for Commun- ities and Local Government issued a new consultation, proposing more changes. Properties marketed before June 1 and which remain on the market will not need an HIP before March 31, 2008, according to the proposals. Properties that are withdrawn from sale can still use the original HIP if remarketed by the same seller within a year of the original HIP date.
