Home Information Pack (No. 2) Regulations 2007 No. 1667 OPSI - Home Information Pack (No. 2) Regulations
Summary: These Regulations prescribe the documents to be included in home information packs and the circumstances in which they are included (Parts 1 to 5 of the Regulations). They provide for exceptions and enforcement (Parts 6 and 7) and make further provision in relation to home condition reports (Parts 8 and 9). The duties to have a home information pack which complies with these Regulations are found in sections 155 to 159 of the Housing Act 2004 ('the home information pack duties'). The Regulations apply in England and Wales.
The Regulations make a distinction between 'required' documents which must be included in home information packs and 'authorised' documents which may be included. A pack must not include any documents not required or authorised (regulation 4) and advertising information must not be included (regulation 12). Part 2 of the Regulations makes provision about the source and clarity of documents included in the original home information pack, and in copies of a pack.

Made Under: Housing Act 2004 (34) - sections 161, 163, 164, 165 and 250(2) and paragraphs 2 and 11(b) of Schedule 8. In accordance with section 250(3) of that Act, the Secretary of State has consulted the National Assembly for Wales in relation to residential properties in Wales.
