HOME GET QUOTE FAQ HIP TRACKING	What is a Home Information Pack? (HIP) HIPs were introduced to bring information up-front, to increase certainty and inform buyers about a property before they incur costs. Informed choice by buyers at the start will help reduce delays later on and wasted time for sellers. From 6 April 2009 this information must be available from the first day the property is put on the market. Home Information Packs are now needed for most homes put on the market with vacant possession on or after 14 December 2007. Exceptions from the duty to have a Pack include: Mixed use properties (eg a flat and shop being sold together) Portfolio sales Leases of less than 21 years. Whoever is marketing the property is responsible for ensuring a valid Pack is available. This will either be the seller or their estate agent. What is new in the Pack? From 6 April 2009, the Pack will include the Property Information Questionnaire as a mandatory document. ( Please click to download) The new form should be completed by the seller and will provide simple, useful information about a property that can help inform a prospective buyer’s decisions about whether to view, or make an offer. Sellers can still choose to include other permitted information (eg additional leasehold information, a Home Condition Report, guarantees or additional searches), if they feel this would improve the Pack.
