What is a Home Information Pack?

Since 14 December 2007 every home put on the market must have a Home Information Pack (HIP).

It is a report about the property containing information such as a sale statement, local searches and evidence of title.

The Home Information Pack also includes an Energy Performance Certificate that contains advice on how to cut CO2 emissions and fuel bills.

Complusory documents in a HIP:

A full index of the contents of the pack.
A statement of sale (summarising the actual terms of the sale).
An Evidence of Title Document.
Standard searches (which may include enquiries from local authorities and a standard drainage and water search).
An Energy Performance Certificate.
Additional information for leasehold and commonhold sales, where appropriate.
A HIP for newly built homes must include a certificate (or interim certificate) showing the rating that the home has received in respect of the Code for Sustainable Homes or a nil-rated certificate showing that the home has only been designed to meet current Building Regulations.

For more information regarding Home Information Packs, visit Directgov the governments website addressing all issues about HIPs.
