Since the latter part of 2007, the law requires that if you are marketing a property for sale you must now produce a Home Information Pack (HIP) for that property. The government introduction of Home Information Packs (HIPS) is a set of documents providing important information about a property, such as its energy efficiency, boundary ownership and planning permissions. The purpose of the pack is to provide information earlier in the process, to improve the speed and conclusion of transactions and reduce wasted costs.
Your home can be marketed as soon as a HIP has been ordered and the cost of the HIP will vary according to the property type and the way the HIP is presented. It is important to remember that some of the costs involved in producing the HIP already exist in the conveyancing process and should therefore reduce costs normally incurred at a later stage.
On your instruction, we can order a HIP for your home which will normally take 5-7 working days to complete. We offer highly competitive rates which are rarely bettered. Please contact a member of our sales team for further information.
