According to the Conservatives the Government will use data gathered from the controversial Home Information Packs to “hike up property taxes”, the Conservatives claim.

Shadow local government and communities secretary Eric Pickles said the HIPs would create a massive property database that will be used for a stealthy revaluation of council tax and tax rises.

Mr Pickles said the database could hold detailed information on 20 million homes by 2014.

He predicted that Prime Minister Gordon Brown would use the data to “fill his coffers and hike up property taxes even more”.
