Home information packs: The survey is optional but all house sellers must pay up to £400 for details such as an energy check, writes Patrick Collinson. The front page headline on one tabloid newspaper this week screamed "Home sales pack scheme scrapped". But the headlines are nonsense. The scheme has not been scrapped. The single biggest element, the mandatory survey, has been abandoned, but anyone putting their property on the market after June 2007 will still have to prepare a seller's pack, and stump up around £400 for the privilege.
What is going to be in the pack, how much will you have to pay for one and where do you buy one? Guardian Money set out to find the answers.
