What is a Property Information Questionnaire and what will I be asked?

What is a Property Information Questionnaire? Part 2

Here we share with you some of the example questions you’ll be asked in the Property Information Questionnaire.

It’s a legal requirement that you complete this form, but don’t worry, we’re on hand to help you complete the questionnaire when you list your property for sale with us. If you do not know an answer to a question then that is fine, but you must provide as much information as possible and not omit information. The information will be used by the conveyancers representing yourself and the buyer during the conveyancing process and will support the sale of the property.

This form is required to ensure that the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 are complied with during the marketing of the property and must be completed as accurately as possible. Under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 it is important to disclose anything that would materially affect the transactional decision of the average consumer.

Example questions:

• In regards to any changes or alterations you have made to the property, was a building regulation approval and completion certificate obtained or an equivalent Competent Person Scheme Certificate?
• Has there been any disputes or complaints regarding this property or a property nearby? If yes, provide details.
• Are you aware of any planning application that could affect the property, the enjoyment of it or the views from it?
• Has the property been rewired or had any electrical installation work carried out since 1 January 2005? If yes, provide details below and supply the Building Regulations Compliance and Completion Certificate (or equivalent) with this form
• Has there ever been any treatment of dry rot, wet rot or damp carried out at your property? If yes, provide details below
• Is the property of standard construction? If no, give details below.
• Are there any restrictions on use or alteration of the property which have not been complied with? If yes, provide details
