We are HIP friendly
What are Hips?
Hips, or Home Information Packs, were introduced with the aim of speeding up the process of selling and buying property. The first HIPS were required in June 2007 for property of 4 or more bedrooms, from September 2007 3 bedroom properties were included.
With effect from 14th Decemeber 2007 a HIP will be required for all property being marketed for sale in England & Wales. It is the responsibility of the seller and any selling agent to ensure that a HIP is available.
A property may still be marketed without a HIP provided that a HIP has been instructed, until 1st January 2008, thereafter a complete HIP will be needed before being able to market a property.
A completed HIP will contain the following:
| ¡ |
Index |
| ¡ |
Energy Performance Certificate |
| ¡ |
Sales Statement |
| ¡ |
Evidence of Legal Title |
| ¡ |
Local Authority and Drainage & Water Searches |
In addition, if the property is leasehold a copy of the lease must also be included.
What is the Energy Performance Certificate?
The EPC is a key part of the Government initative to reduce carbon emmissions from homes.
The EPC will also provide a potential buyer with information on energy efficiency of the property, estimated costs in relation to heating & lighting and suggections on how it could be made more efficient.
