All you need know about Home Information Packs
Home Information Packs have been introduced by the government to speed up the process of homebuying and selling, reducing stress and aid first time buyers. HIPs including Energy Performance Certificates were introduced for ALL properties from 14 December 2007.
The Home Information Pack will contain the key information about the property, such as Energy Performance Certificate, standard searches, and evidence of title.
Which documents are compulsory?
- Index of documents contained in the H.I.P.
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or predicted
energy assessment - Sales Statement
- Standard Searches e.g. Local land searches,
enquires, drainage and water searches - Evidence of Title
What's the Energy Performance Certificate?
The Energy Performance Certificate highlights how energy efficient a property is by giving it a rating from A to G, with A is the most energy efficient. They also offer advice on how to save energy and reduce fuel bills.
