The government has said it will extend its Home Information Pack scheme (HIPS) to cover three-bedroom homes in England and Wales from 10 September 2007.
They were introduced on 1 August for four-bedroom homes and contain title deeds, local searches and an energy performance certificate (EPCs).
Following the expansion of the scheme, 60% of the property market in England and Wales will be covered by HIPS, the Department of Communities and Local Government said.
Scotland is set to get its own version of HIPS in 2008.
