The Home Information Packs are an optional system that is based on the accumulated building information of a house from the time of new construction, which is provided by the Housing Information Agencies. By utilizing the accumulated historical data of all the services, repairs, renovations, and sales transactions concerning a property, Home Information Packs fulfill the role of property owners in accordance with maintenance plans.
To start and implement this system containing the information we accumulated, we performed the following:
1. Issued separate RFID tags to distinguish accumulated data from other information.
2. Maintained a structure of universal folders listing where this data was stored.
3. Maintained the ledger of house history information so that we could determine the content therein.
4. Provided a thesaurus to help clarify the titles within the ledger.
5. Adopted mutual guidelines to manage and operate the housing information agencies.
6. Established the Housing Information Agencies Association to enable us to manage the entire operation.
The house history contains two types of information: architectural blueprints that show the design of the building and documents detailing the home’s service history. From the ledger, we are also able to determine by whom and when the information was entered. However, no further refinements have been made at this point.
The first objective of this study is to analyze the house history information which is created in accordance with our legal system. To do so, we subdivided all the information based on the general characteristics of each service received.
Our second objective is to clarify the types of information created and to examine data on the house history that may be distributed in the future.
This is the first report of this study on the specific details and distribution of the Home Information Packs. It is significant for two reasons. First, because the house history information is based on legislative requirements, its relationship with the law can be described as two sides of the same coin. Therefore, accessing the house history information is assumed to be the same as accessing the legal system. We list every law and regulation that applies during the life of a house. The terms in the article are regarded as specific information on the house history and these terms are defined in the terminology dictionary. With these definitions, we determine what is correct and incorrect to analyze the operability from both sellers and perspective buyers when the information is released.
