Parking issues are also key as car park wars with neighbours can affect your day to day life. That said, there could be many sellers who would like to hide those issues and may find their houses even harder to sell if they are up front about flood risk and parking problems!

Please also porovide all supporting documnets. This could be especially useful for properties with loft conversions ie. if they were done properly or not, and would get rid of the notion bedroom 4/loft room etc. What perhaps should be included in the PIQ, is the question: have any changes been made to the property that you are aware of since it was built and has planning permission and/or building regulations been given for these changes.

Due to this one would expect the PIQ to improve levels of people requesting to see the properties HIP pack. Hi Paul,

Just looked at the PIQ here for the 1st time and it would of been of great interest before i bought the house i did. Alot of the info i would have appreciated and given me a better idea of what i was getting into. I would welcome having this kind of information, hopefully its ready before i buy our next property.

However, ideally the HIP should be available with particulars via an estate agent or the home seller. The Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) which i have included a draft copy of above is planned to be a 7 page document and am not sure whether this would of been viable to have been included within each properties particulars. I agree some of the information will be valued to varying degrees by different individuals; though alot of the areas within the Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) will provide very useful background information and awareness of practical issues on the property being considered.

Most of the information in it can be included in the estate agent's particulars. The rest is either unnecessary or irrelevant. We do not need the government to tell us, the people of England and Wales, how to sell our houses. There is no need to titivate the HIP, it will be dead within the next two years.
