A pledge to scrap home information packs won shadow housing minister Grant Shapps an ovation at the Conservative conference on Monday.
Mr Shapps told cheering party activists: "The experts ridiculed them. The industry doesn't want them. The market doesn't need them.
"And I can pledge to you today, the next Conservative government will scrap them."
Mr Shapps accused ministers of ignoring repeated warnings that far from streamlining the house-buying process HIPs were "clumsy and ineffective".
The Tories have fought a fierce campaign against HIPs, which were introduced in stages earlier this year after a series of delays.
Mr Shapps also promised that a Conservative government would introduce a new scheme to "reward five years of good tenant behaviour" by giving people an equity share in their own social housing.
He accused ministers of "bulldozing" through development plans against local wishes to meet their housing targets and confirmed the party would clamp down on "garden grabbing" where new homes are squeezed onto spare patches of land behind existing properties.
