daltons solicitors

home information packs

Daltons can prepare and provide a Home Information Pack for you.  As Solicitors we are best placed to prepare and interpret the legal information included within the Home Information Pack.

The Home Information Pack (also known as the HIP) is compulsory for all homes on the market in England and Wales.  It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you can’t market your property without one.  If you don’t provide a HIP then you or the person marketing the property could face a fixed penalty notice.

The HIP contains a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property.  These include

  • Sale Statement and Index
  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
  • Evidence of Title
  • Standard searches (Local Authority and Drainage and Water)
  • Leasehold documents where appropriate

If you need more information or advice about a HIP whether you are a seller or a proposed buyer who needs guidance as to the contents, then please contact us.

To ensure there are no delays with marketing your property it is advisable to instruct us as soon as you start considering selling your property.
