PACK MENTALITY
No new Home Information Pack menace highlighted in the Mail this Sunday, what with all the bins and earthquakes. But the Sunday Telegraph gives space to a report from the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings which says HIPs will 'severely damage' old and listed buildings and the health of their occupants. 'Instead of allowing old buildings that lack cavity walls to breathe, owners could be encouraged to seal up or over-insulate the fabric in misguided attempts to save energy...'

'Unfortunately, it is becoming clear that those who will most benefit from the reforms will be those who least deserve it: namely, estate agents, lawyers and DIY stores...'

How will it work? The Times puts three very different properties through the HIP hoop:
