People planning to sell their properties will no longer need home information packs (Hips), the new coalition Government has announced.
Many estate agents said buyers paid little attention to the information in Hips
The packs, which were first introduced in 2007, were designed to simplify the process of selling a home but attracted widespread criticism.
Housing minister Grant Shapps said: "Today the new Government is ensuring that home information packs are history.
"This is a great example of how we are determined to get straight down to work and cut pointless red tape which is strangling the market."
