Trade and representative bodies representing the legal, surveying, estate agency and property management sectors, including The Conveyancing Association, have launched the sixth iteration of the BASPI – the Buyer’s and Seller’s Property Information dataset.

The BASPI, developed by the upfront information working group of the Home Buying and Selling Council (HBSC), is a ‘single source of truth’ dataset, designed to include all the information required on a property when it is put on the market for sale.

Split into two parts, Part A covers the disclosure of material information required by Regulations, while Part B includes additional information required for the legal process. Information provided in the BASPI allows the seller to ensure their property is both ‘Market Ready’ and ‘Sale Ready’.

This new version of the BASPI introduces some tweaks to existing questions and new ones focused on electric charging points, flat roofs on properties, energy-efficiency retrofitting activity, and further information regarding any planning permissions and any heating system installations.
