Government delays the introduction of Home Information Packs.

The introduction of Home Information Packs is to be delayed until 1 August - when they will be brought in for sales of homes with four bedrooms or more. .
The packs were due to become compulsory for all home sales in England and Wales from 1 June. .
But Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly told MPs the packs would be phased in. .
She also said that initially sellers would only have to have commissioned a pack, rather than have a completed one, before marketing their property. .
The delay comes after a judge, ruling on a legal challenge from surveyors, said the energy performance certificates should be left out of the packs "for the time being". .
The legal challenge from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) was based on what they said was a lack of proper consultation on the packs. (Source: BBC Website) .
