Material information

Facts about a property that a buyer would need to make an informed decision, which agents are expected to include in listings — such as tenure, council tax band, price and known issues.

National Trading Standards guidance sets out material information agents should include in property listings, including price, tenure, council tax band, utilities, parking, and issues such as flood risk or building safety.

Leaving out or misdescribing material information can breach consumer protection law. Give your agent accurate answers and they can present them fairly.
