If
you are buying, selling or marketing a home from
the 1st August 2007 you will be required to have a Home
Information Pack (HIP) for your home if your home has 4 or more
bedrooms. The
government plan to introduce HIP's for all homes over a roll out
period of about 2 - 3 months. The following information will apply
to all homes when the full roll out has been completed. Sellers:
you will need to have a HIP before you put your home on the
market. Your HIP must also include a Energy Performance
Certificate (EPC). Buyers:
the HIP will offer you essential information about the property you
wish to buy, making a smoother, transparent and efficient
purchase. Estate
Agents: From the 1st August 2007, before you market a property you
must ensure the seller has a HIP in production for the property. You
will not need a HIP if the property is on the market before 1st
August 2007, unless it remains unsold on 1 January 2008. The
EPC tells you how energy efficient the property is and also
offers information on how to make the property more efficient and
even includes suggested costs. SureMove
