More About Home Information Packs

Since 2007 all residential properties marketed for sale require a Home Information Pack or HIP. The HIP is a set of documents giving information about the property. The purpose or the Home Information Pack is to speed up the conveyance of the property when a sale is agreed and give potential purchasers information regarding the property such as energy usage.

Why do you need a HIP?

A HIP is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the seller or the seller's agent. It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you can't market your property without one.

The HIP lets buyers see important information about the property at the start of the process, free of charge. This means there is less chance of buyers becoming aware of any surprises at the end of the process.

The HIP can help reduce delays and extra expense to the buyer of that property. The buyer’s solicitor historically sourced most of the documents in the Home Information Pack; however as they now form part of the HIP the buyer’s solicitor may choose not to source new ones and instead rely on the documents supplied by the vendor.

The following documents must be included in your HIP: Freehold properties·

• Home Information Pack Index 

• The new Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ), from 6 April 2009

• Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA)

• Sustainability information (required for newly built homes)

• Standard searches (local authority and drainage and water) 

• Leasehold properties· All the compulsory documents above 

• A copy of the lease
