Home Information Packs (HIPs) prepared by Solicitors

From the 14th December 2007 any property that is marketed for sale in England and Wales requires a Home Information Pack (HIP).

A Home information Pack contains information that is important to the potential purchaser, including, the following compulsory documentation;

• Home Information Pack Index.
• Energy Performance Certificate.
• Sale statement.
• Standard searches.
• Evidence of title.

HIPs provide key information needed by buyers and sellers at the very start of the home-buying process, making transactions more efficient and less likely to fall through between offer and exchange.

The HIP needs to be ordered when the property is first put on the market. You do not need to have possession of the Hip but must have proof that one has been ordered.

The seller is responsible for the costs of a Home Information Pack.
