Hello Home Information Packs!
From 1st August 2007, it will be illegal to market a property for sale without a Home Information Pack (HIP), which contains documents on the physical condition and legal title of the property.
The object is for Sellers to take specialist advice and then have the opportunity to rectify any defects before they put the house on the market.
We can speed up your sale by immediately instructing our agency to prepare your HIP. We will then provide expert legal advice on the content of the legal documents and searches in the HIP, so that any legal problems that could obstruct your sale can be identified and put right before you put your property on the market.
It is well worth taking legal advice from your Solicitor first, before putting your property on the market.
If you’re a Buyer a HIP pack will give you detailed information on which you can then take professional advice, before you make an offer for the property.
If you are thinking of making an offer to buy a house, we can look at the HIP for you, get copies of any further legal documents missing from the pack and give you expert legal advice on the contents of the pack.
