HIPs Update

 

Home Information Packs were introduced by the Government in 2007 to help streamline the buying process. 

On 21st May 2010 the new Government laid an Order suspending HIPs pending primary legislation for a permanent abolition 

 
  • From 21st May 2010, whilst Home Information Packs have been suspended, there is still a legal requirement for anyone selling a residential property to commission an Energy Performance Certificate which should be in place as quickly as possible, preferably within 28 days but definately before Exchange Of Contracts. 
  • If you require an Energy Performance Certificate please contact us and we can arrange for one of our fully-qualified and accredited Domestic Energy Assessors to visit your property
