“Thank you for organising our Home Information Pack so quickly and efficiently. The HIP being available on-line made it so much more accessible”

HIP (Home Information Pack)

A Home Information Pack is compulsory for all homes on the market in England and Wales. It is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the seller or seller’s agent.

The following documents must be included in your HIP

Freehold Property

• HIP Index
• Energy performance Certificate
• Sustainable Information (required for newly built homes only)
• Sale Statement
• Evidence of Title
• Standard Searches (Local Authority and Drainage & Water)

Leasehold Property

• All of the above
• A copy of the Lease

The cost of preparation of the HIP is borne by the seller. Some HIP providers may offer a free or low cost pack or a ‘no sale no fee’ arrangement but always check the terms and conditions of these offers — there is no such thing as a free lunch!

We are able to offer a realistically priced HIP that will belong to you, which means that you will be able to market your property with whoever you choose and can take the HIP with you if you decide to change estate agents in the future.

Please contact us for a fixed price estimate for preparing your HIP.
