## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings Part 5 of (and Schedule 8 to) the Housing Act 2004 fully in force in England and Wales on 6th April 2008. These provisions relate to home information packs.
Earlier commencement orders brought into force Part 5 on a phased basis as applied to residential properties of different types. This order brings into force Part 5 in relation to all remaining residential properties. By virtue of the earlier commencement orders, these are properties to which regulation 17C of the Building Regulations 2000 applies (which imposes minimum energy performance requirements). Once in force, the provisions will apply to a residential property unless it is excepted under Part 6 of the Home Information Pack (No.2) Regulations 2007.
