House hunters will find it easier to get info on homes

Property listings are to include more key details to make it easier for house hunters to discover essential information about properties. National Trading Standards said council tax bands and tenure information for sales must be included along with the house price. Experts believe more transparency could save people money, reduce sales falling through and speed transactions. The extra information should be included by the end of May or be flagged as absent. Details on restrictive covenants and flood risk may be added in later stages of the plan.
