HOME INFORMATION PACK now £149.00 !

A home information pack (HIP) is a set of documents provided by the Seller which gives the Buyer certain information about the property. It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you can't market your property without one.

Buyers and sellers of homes in England and Wales should be aware of changes to the Home Information Pack (HIP) regime that come into effect on 6 April 2009.

From that date:

1. The temporary first day marketing exemption is removed. All properties will need a HIP from the first day they are marketed.

2. A ‘Property Information Questionnaire’ must be completed by the seller and included in the HIP.

3. It will no longer be permitted for insurance to be put in place to cover missing data in the HIP. This means that all searches must be complete before the HIP is used.

On considering the firm's approach to HIPs, Paul Bibby, Managing Partner said “ We are constantly looking at ways in which we can add further value to the services we provide. By compiling Home Information Packs to our clients at the direct cost to our firm of compiling them provided that we are engaged to undertake the conveyancing is one of the ways in which we are helping our clients."
