Home Information Packs
Since 6 April 2009, it is a legal requirement to have a Home Information Pack (HIP) prior to marketing your property.
A HIP is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the seller or the seller's agent. The HIP lets buyers see important information about the property at the start of the process, free of charge. This means there is less chance of buyers becoming aware of any surprises at the end of the process. The HIP can help reduce delays and extra expense to the buyer and seller.
The following documents must be included in the HIP:-
Freehold properties
- Home Information Pack Index
- The new Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ), from 6 April 2009
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA)
- Sustainability information (required for newly built homes)
- Sale statement
- Evidence of title
- Standard searches (local authority and drainage and water)
Leasehold properties
- All the compulsory documents above
- A copy of the lease
Green Check Energy Services provide fully HIP Code compliant Home Information Packs, including the EPC and normally take between 7 – 14 working days to complete from receipt of payment.
