Home Information Packs

It is now law for anyone selling a house with three or four bedrooms or more to provide a Home Information Pack.

You can find local suppliers who provide this service in our local business directory. Look in the Moving House section under Financial and Professional Services Home Information Packs.

If you're buying a home, make sure you see the Home Information Pack.

Since 14 December 2007 every home put on the market, no matter what size, must have a Home Information Pack. It brings together valuable information at the start of the process - such as a sale statement, local searches and evidence of title - which could save you money, time and stress. The Pack also includes an Energy Performance Certificate that contains advice on how to cut CO2 emissions and fuel bills.

Make sure your estate agent shows you the Pack.

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. HIP documents give consumers a clear, up front picture of what they are buying and selling.
