What is a Home Information Pack?

A Home Information Pack (HIP) is basically a collection of essential information and documents related to the sale of your home. From 1 August 2007, Home Information Packs will be compulsory for four bedroom properties and larger. From the 10 September 2007, this will also include three bedroom propertiies.

What is in a Home Information Pack?

The Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. They contain two types of documents;

"Required Documents" which are cumpolsory documents and information that has to be in a HIP.

"Authorised Documents" which are optional documents that can be included in a HIP.

What are the benefits of HIP's?

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.

For buyers, the Pack provides essential information about properties they are considering buying - free of charge - and reduces the chance of unwelcome surprises later on in the process.
