The Government has recently made further changes to the Home Information Pack Regulations. With effect from 6 April the following changes will come into effect:
1. All HIPs must include a Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) which will provide some basic information about the property.
2. In relation to leasehold properties, the PIQ will include a summary of things such as rent and service charge and as a result the requirement to include certain leasehold documents in the HIP (such as service charge accounts) which had previously been delayed has now been dropped.
3. All information required to be included in the HIP must be available from the point of first marketing. This change removes the concession previously made by the Government which allowed a property to be marketed provided the elements of the HIP had been ordered and were expected within 28 days.
Properties which were first marketed before the HIP regulations came into effect will still not require a HIP although they do now require an Energy Perfomance Certificate. The HIP regulations were brought in progressively for different sizes of previously-owned property during 2007 and for new homes in April 2008.
The Home Information Pack (HIP) is a compulsory requirement for all homes being sold in England and Wales and Northern Ireland. From 6th April 2009, important changes are being made to the legislation requiring a HIPs report to be available from the first day of marketing to provide potential buyers with detailed information about your property. So if you are thinking about selling your home, talking to Estate Services should be first on your list of priorities.
We can supply your completed HIP with an average turnaround time of only five days. This takes the worry and paperwork out of your hands and into the hands of professionals who have experience in ensuring that your HIP is completed correctly, which could help to speed up the sale of your home.
