Home Buying & Selling

The Home Information Pack is a part of a major reform of the home buying and selling process in England and Wales. The Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. Home Information Packs including Energy Performance Certificates have been implemented on a phased basis which started on 1 August 2007. The final stage of the roll out of HIPs came with the extension to cover all sizes of property from 14th December 2007.

 

For sellers, providing a Pack upfront should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.
