Home Information Packs (HIP'S) Eastbourne,
Failing to obtain a HIP in the required circumstances is a Criminal Offence
As from 14th December 2007 all properties put on the market for sale require a Home Information Pack (HIP), save in limited circumstances. See “Who needs a HIP? At HipsDirect2u we have put together a cost effective and affordable solution. HIPS Direct 2U aim to provide your HIP within 3 days – 5 working days of payment being received. The Home Information Pack must include:
and may also include the following:
Unlike many other Pack Providers we include an “Official Local Authority Search” in preference to a “Personal Search”. Most Buyer’s Solicitors and Mortgage Lenders will not accept personal searches. A full search should enable your sale to proceed quicker once a buyer is found. At present it is possible to market your property once the HIP has been commissioned although this is likely to change on 1st January 2009 when the Government advise that the HIP must be available before the property is marketed. (Although it is likely that there will remain in place provisions to include the required searches and leasehold information within 28 days of the pack being issued).
We are able to offer specialist advice. Call 01323 720142 now for a consultation with a specialist Solicitor or a Lawyer at Lawson Lewis & Co.
