Do I need a home information pack?
Yes. It is now a legal requirement that all homes for sale in the UK must have a home information pack available to potential buyers. This speeds up the house sale process and helps the transaction run more smoothly. Home information packs must be prepared by the seller's solicitor. We have a leading property law firm on board who can provide a professional Home Information Pack at a highly competitive rate.

In addition to the excellent exposure a listing on PrivatePropertyAgent.com gives you, we recommend the use of a for sale sign on your property to attract non-internet buyers. We offer an attractively designed and robust sign which we will send direct to your address.
