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.
What's in a Home Information Pack?
The Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. Properties marketed for sale from 14 December 2007 in England and Wales need a Home Information Pack.
Benefits for sellers
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.
Benefits for buyers
For buyers, the Pack provides essential information about properties they are considering buying, free of charge.
What does a Pack contain?
• Optional documents (‘Authorised') - such as the Home Condition Report which gives buyers a clear idea of what work, if any, needs to be done to the property.
