HIP (Home Information Pack) Explained

A HIP contains a number of key legal documents which is important information for both the Buyer and Seller.  The main requirements for documents are as follows:-

1. An index
2. An Energy Performance Certificate
3. A Sale Statement
4. Evidence of Title
5. Standard Searches
6. Common hold Information (if applicable)
7. Leasehold Information (if applicable)
8. A PIQ (Property Information Questionnaire) - As of April 2009

By providing this information at the initial stage of any interest shown by a Purchaser, the pack should benefit both parties by reducing the likelihood of any surprises arising later in the process and should therefore not delay the sale.

Please Note:
On and from April 6th 2009 you must have a HIP in place ready to show potential buyers before the property is marketed for sale.
