With effect 1st August 2007, all residential properties with at least 4-bedrooms being sold within England and Wales are required to have a Home Information Pack (HIP) before they can be marketed. 3-bedroom properties will require the Packs from 10th September, 2007 and the dates when smaller properties will need to have the Packs will be announced shortly. Aureus Property Services provides the essential link to all the professionals whose services are required to produce the HIP for you.
Home Owners
For homeowners looking to sell privately, or wishing to obtain a Home Information Pack (HIP) before committing to a specific selling agent, Aureus Property Services can prepare either an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or a HIP that becomes the property of the vendor, thus giving them the flexibility to choose their preferred marketing strategy. When ordering a HIP, we normally recommend the inclusion of a full Home Condition Report within the HIP as it enhances the Pack, makes a quick sale more likely and reduces the risk of 'gazundering' - whereby a purchaser negotiates a lower price after obtaining a survey report. Find out if you need a HIP.
