What can you do if a HIP/EPC isn't provided?
Sellers or their agents have to provide the pack within 14 days of a request from a buyer. A seller can refuse to provide a copy in limited cases. This is usually when a seller believes that the person making the request:- couldn't afford the property
- isn't really interested in buying the property
- isn't a person who the seller would wish to sell the property to (but this doesn't allow them to unlawfully discriminate against someone)
