The home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. They are a legal requirement on all propereties, (excluding New Build up to 31st April), and include Energy Performance Certificates.
For Sellers, providing a Pack upfront should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.
For Buyers, the pack provides essential information about properties they are considering buying free of charge.
The Pack contains the following items:-
Compulsory items
Home information Pack
Index
Energy Performance Certificate
Sale Statement
Standard Searches including water and drainage reports
Evidence of Title
Additional information for leasehold and commonhold sales, where appropriate.
Optional items: Some documents in the Home Information Pack are optional.
These include:- Home Condition report and Legal Summary.
Our aim is to make a HIP available for inspection within 10 days of receiving the instruction. In many cases, this is less than 7 days, but some searches take a little longer than others.
