Definitions
A British colloquial term for the Home Information Pack (HIP), a government-mandated bundle of documents that UK home sellers were required to prepare and provide to potential buyers between 2007 and 2010. The pack included an Energy Performance Certificate, local authority searches, and title documents. The scheme was controversial — critics called it expensive and bureaucratic — and was scrapped in 2010, making 'Seller's Pack' a term now encountered mainly in historical discussions of UK property law.
The estate agent reminded them that they'd need a Seller's Pack prepared before the property could be officially listed.

British military slang, particularly from the World War I and II era, meaning to be wounded by enemy fire or caught in an attack — to take a hit. A 'packet' in this context refers to something unpleasant delivered to you without warning, like a bullet or shell. The phrase has the characteristic British military understatement: describing being shot or blown up with the casual vocabulary of receiving a parcel. It can also extend to any sudden misfortune. The expression is largely historical now but appears often in wartime memoirs and period fiction.
