The Government has introduced reforms that change the way we buy and sell our homes in England and Wales. All homes placed on the market need to have a Home Information Pack (HIP) prepared on behalf of the vendor.

Jennie Jones can arrange for the HIP to be prepared on your behalf.

The HIP aims to introduce greater certainty in to the home buying and selling process by providing searches and other information at the start, when a property is put on the market.

What will the HIP contain?

• An index of contents.
• An Energy Performance Certificate.
• A sale statement.
• Evidence of title.
• Searches.
• Leasehold or common hold documents where appropriate.
• Property Information Questionnaire completed by the seller.

A number of other useful documents can be included within a HIP on a voluntary basis. These include a Home Condition Report.
