It seems every month or so a new initiative comes along that affects property. The last few years have seen Home Information Packs introduced; Energy Performance Certificates; changes to planning permission, including permitted development rights; Estate Agency Redress and a Tenancy Deposit Scheme. And these are just the ones that get talked about!

Before legislation is introduced, the government gives the public and industry a chance to comment. As the media don't always cover this information, we thought it would be helpful to capture as many of the current consultations and forthcoming legislation so you can share your views and abide by the new laws!
