The cost of preparing a Pack is determined by market forces and not by the Government. However, the cost of the Pack varies from provider to provider as does the look, presentation and quality of the Pack. 

Some of the cost of the Pack already existed in the home buying and selling process. The only new elements are the compulsory Energy Performance Certificate and the optional Home Condition Report.

Home buyers will receive a copy of the Pack free of charge on any property that they wish to consider purchasing (although a reasonable charge for copying and posting a copy of the Pack can be made). This will help with the whole process of home buying, helping more offers progress through to completion.
