Home Information Packs (HIPs)
Although almost everyone in the property business seems to agree these are a waste of time and money, under new regulations brought in by the Government, if you want to sell your property you have to provide potential buyers with a Home Information Pack.
A HIP has to include:
An Energy Performance Certificate
This is a report prepared by an “expert” about how energy efficient your property is.
A Sale Statement
The main facts about the proposed transaction.
Standard Searches
Usually a set of questions answered by the Local Council and the Water Authority
Evidence of Title
A copy of the title as registered at the Government Land Registry. We have our own direct link to the Land Registry and can usually obtain these within minutes.
For leasehold properties a copy of the lease and some other basic information.
We can arrange all of this for you. Advantage. By using a solicitor to prepare the HIP you are not tied to any one estate agent. You can put your property on the market with any estate agent you want including multiple agents if you wish. The choice is entirely yours.
