I heard something a little while back about a new thing that England was working on involving the selling of homes in England and Wales called HIPs. So you may ask what are HIPs? HIP stands for Home Information Pack and is basically a package of documents about the property like an Energy Performance Certificate, local authority searches, title documents, guarantees, etc. The thing is that these HIP’s have been in the works for some time now and the exact rules about which houses will require them is constantly changing. at first it was every home, then it changed to only larger homes. There is supposed to be some sort of review about the progress of this new seller’s pack in the middle of October. It is still way up in the air on the exact rules for these things. For more information and the latest news and updates on HIP’s go to Rics.org, they can keep you up to date.
