How long is my Home Information Pack valid for?

Whilst the property is on the market there is no need to update a Home Information Pack as
ultimately, the market decides whether the documents remain acceptable and up to date.
If the sale of your property stops and then starts again, you would normally be required to
assemble a new Pack and to update those documents which are now out of date according to
the requirements of the Home Information Pack Regulations. However, the seller can carry on
using the same Pack without the need to update any of the documents in the following
circumstances:
- Where marketing stopped because the seller accepted an offer and wants to restart
marketing because the sale has fallen through, provided remarketing starts within one year of
the date when marketing first began or, if later, within 28 days of the sale falling through.
- Where marketing has stopped for any other reason, the seller may remarket the property
with the same Pack provided that remarketing starts within one year of the date when
marketing first began.
