520			_aThe Housing Act 2004 provides for the introduction of the Home Information Pack (HIP), the use of which is expected to come to become compulsory from the beginning of 2007. As the HIP must be available to prospective property buyers and the duty to provide it has been placed on the person marketing the property, the introduction of the HIP will have immediate consequences for sellers, estate agents and solicitors providing property-selling services. This article summarises the main provisions relating to the HIP by considering a number of key questions. Much of the detail, however, will be contained in regulations which have not yet been laid before Parliament. [Taken from journal abstract].
