Our Services

The HIPs pack will contain basic information about the property being offered for sale. Some of the pack contents will be compulsory where as other items can be put in only if you want to.  The pack is likely to consist of the following, although the precise detail has yet to be defined by the Government:

terms of sale
evidence of title
replies to standard preliminary enquiries made on behalf of buyers
copies of any planning, listed building and building regulations consents and approvals
for new properties, copies of warranties and guarantees
any guarantees for work carried out on the property
replies to local searches
a home condition report based on a professional survey of the property, including an energy efficiency assessment

Also, for leasehold properties:
a copy of the lease
most recent service charge accounts and receipts
building insurance policy details and payment receipts
regulations made by the landlord or management company
memorandum and articles of the landlord or management company

Full details, together with a very informative leaflet, can be found at the Government website www.communities.gov.uk/homeinformationpacks
