NTSEAT have published guidance on requirements for the new parts A, B and C of material information required. Part B is information that should be covered for all properties – such as the type of property, the building materials used, the number of rooms and information about utilities and parking. Part C is information that only needs to be established if the property is affected by the issue – such as flood risk or restrictive covenants. Part A was announced last year and includes council tax band or rate, property price or rent and tenure information (for sales).

Emma will demystify the process and will respond to any questions or queries you have on the new process. 

If you have a question you would like discussed during the webinar, then please email the Policy and Campaigns Team prior to the webinar on [email protected].
