<\/a>There is seldom time at EYE to \u2018play\u2019 but while exploring the rabbit-hole that is Artificial Intelligence \u2013 in this case, ChatGPT \u2013 we took a moment to ask it to write about Home Information Packs, in the style of William Shakespeare. The result is entertaining, to such a degree that we may have to make \u2018him\u2019 a regular correspondent.<\/p>\nSo, imagine yourself settled in at the Globe Theatre and read on\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of Scrolls and Hearth: A Discourse on Home Information Packs, as might have been penn\u2019d by the Bard of Avon<\/strong><\/p>\nLo! Attend thee now, good gentlefolk, and lend thy list\u2019ning ear,<\/em>
For I shall speak of parchment new, that bringeth sellers cheer.<\/em>
\u2018Tis called a Pack, of Home and House, a thing both stout and neat,<\/em>
Wherein is writ the lore of lands, and each abode complete.<\/em><\/p>\n\u2014<\/p>\n
ACT I \u2013 Of Deeds and Dwelling<\/strong><\/p>\nEnter NARRATOR<\/em><\/p>\nWhat devil\u2019s jest or clerkly scheme is this?
A \u201cHome Information Pack,\u201d quoth thou? Ay, bliss!
When one would sell their cot or hall of stone,
This bundle must be made ere sale is shown.
With title deeds and searches deep enclosed,
Where soil and sky and drainage are exposed.<\/p>\n
No longer may the buyer blindly tread,
For all is in the Pack, yea, full and spread.
The lawman\u2019s seal, the surveyor\u2019s learned eye,
And energy that dwindles, low or high.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
ACT II \u2013 Of Energy, and the Curious Scroll<\/strong><\/p>\nIn this great tome lies something called \u2018EPC\u2019,
A curious charm that tells how warm thou be.
If hearth doth waste its flame through wall or beam,
The scroll shall name it, aye, and scorn the scheme.
It showeth if thy keep is cold or kind,
And what repairs shall calm the winter wind.<\/p>\n
Lo, these are truths that once lay hid and dumb,
But now they must with trumpet boldly come.
The buyer knoweth what he soon shall gain\u2014
A palace fair, or naught but leaky bane.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
ACT III \u2013 Of Strife and Statute<\/strong><\/p>\nYet not all souls did cheer this scribbled lore,
For many cried, \u201cA tax! A bureaucrat\u2019s chore!\u201d
Some merchants swore the Pack did naught but stall
The hasty trade, the swift and honest call.
But government, with gavel firm and proud,
Did hold its ground \u2018gainst protest loud.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019Tis for the people,\u201d said the stately knave,
\u201cTo save them from a sale that makes them slave.\u201d
And thus it stood, for many a weary moon,
Until the law did whistle a new tune.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
ACT IV \u2013 Of Repeal and the Vanishing Pack<\/strong><\/p>\nBut mark ye well how time doth turn the tide\u2014
The Pack, once law, now cast and set aside.
With change of crown, and sceptre in new hand,
It vanish\u2019d, like a ghost from Elsinore\u2019s land.
\u201cNo more,\u201d they cried, \u201cshall seller fear this fee!
Let free trade reign! Let red-tape cease to be!\u201d<\/p>\n
And so the Pack did pass to shadows dim,
Yet memory of it still doth haunt the brim.
A tale of ink and seals and state decrees,
Of homes and hopes, and cold legalities.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
EPILOGUE \u2013 A Seller\u2019s Whisper<\/strong><\/p>\nEnter a humble SELLER, with candle and deed.<\/em><\/p>\nShouldst thou e\u2019er list thy house in market\u2019s mart,
Still keep thy scrolls in order, every part.
Though Packs be gone, the truth must still be shown\u2014
What lies beneath thy roof must all be known.<\/p>\n
So arm thyself with honesty and grace,
And let not falsehood mar thy dwelling place.
For every buyer hath the right to see
What kind of soul thy house is wont to be.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
Exeunt omnes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
