The Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) is a document completed by the seller of property in the United Kingdom containing details of utilities and services to the property, access arrangements, council tax bands, changes to the property parking arrangements, damage to the property and leasehold information. The PIQ is a required part of the Home Information Pack (HIP), a set of documents that must be provided before a property in England and Wales can be put on the open market for sale with vacant possession. In December 2008, the Labour Minister for Housing, Margaret Beckett, announced proposals to improve and simplify the consumer content of the HIP. As of April 6, 2009, all newly commissioned HIPs must contain a PIQ.

  • The Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) is a document completed by the seller of property in the United Kingdom containing details of utilities and services to the property, access arrangements, council tax bands, changes to the property parking arrangements, damage to the property and leasehold information. The PIQ is a required part of the Home Information Pack (HIP), a set of documents that must be provided before a property in England and Wales can be put on the open market for sale with vacant possession. In December 2008, the Labour Minister for Housing, Margaret Beckett, announced proposals to improve and simplify the consumer content of the HIP. As of April 6, 2009, all newly commissioned HIPs must contain a PIQ. The PIQ was designed to be easy for sellers to complete without professional help and will provide buyers with basic, useful information about a property that will help to inform their decision to view a property or make an offer. The questionnaire is of a similar nature to the previous Home Use Form (HUF). Prior to the April, 2009, the HUF was an authorized document that was rarely included in a seller’s HIP due to the form being non-mandatory. With the suspension of HIPs from May 21, 2010, Property Information Questionnaires are now redundant and not required when selling a house in the United Kingdom, except for Scotland, where they are an important part of the selling process. A house in Scotland, except for a few circumstances, i.e. new builds is not allowed to be marketed, with an agent or privately, without a home report being available within 9 days of going on sale. The single survey, which forms a part of the Home Report, is conducted by a chartered surveyor, who also gives a valuation for the property, independent of estate agents. This means, that to a great degree, valuations of housing in Scotland are more accurate than in the rest of the UK, where houses may be marketed at inflated prices set by estate agents or sellers. It is normal practice is Scotland for this to be the only survey conducted on a home, apart from a few circumstances. The seller information questionnaire and the energy report form the other two parts of the Scottish home report. (en)
