Home packs have "legal loophole"

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said the rules allowed for sellers merely to have ordered a home pack when exchanging contracts

As a result, sellers, if they sold quickly, could do so without having a pack in place, RICS added.

But the government said the claim of a loophole was "nonsense".
