The recent Housing Act requires that nearly all homes marketed from June 2007 will require a Home Information Pack (HIP), sometimes referred to as a seller’s pack.
The pack will contain basic information about the property being offered for sale. Some of the pack contents will be compulsory where as other items can be put in only if you want to. The pack is likely to consist of the following, although the precise detail has yet to be defined by the Government:
 |
Terms of sale |
|
Evidence of title |
|
Replies to standard preliminary enquiries made on behalf of buyers |
|
Copies of any planning, listed building and building regulations consents and approvals |
|
For new properties, copies of warranties and guarantees |
|
Any guarantees for work carried out on the property |
|
Replies to local searches; and |
|
a home condition report based on a professional survey of the property, including an energy efficient assessment. |
|
At County Surveyors we have a dedicated team of Licensed Home Inspectors and Domestic Energy Assessors undertaking growing volumes of Home Condition Reports (HCRs) and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) as more and more home sellers are commissioning Home Information Packs as they put their homes up for sale.
We can offer a direct Home Information Pack service through our sister organisation Packprovider at www.packprovider.com |
