Whether you are looking for a full Home Information Pack or just an Energy Performance Certificate, we can provide you with the your requirements quickly and professionally.
It is now a requirement to produce a Home Information Pack (HIP) prior to marketing the sale of a domestic property.
The government has introduced these measures to make buying and selling residential properties easier, and to speed up the sales process.
The Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know.
Benefits for sellers
For sellers, providing a Pack upfront should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.
Also, providing a Pack up front should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.
An Energy Performance Certificate is part of a Home Information Pack.
The certificates are commissioned by the seller (or their agent) from an accredited Energy Assessor, who visits the property to collect the relevant data and creates the certificate.
This data includes the date, construction and location of the house and relevant fittings (heating systems, insulation or double glazing, for example).
Benefits for buyers
For buyers, the Pack provides essential information about properties they are considering buying, free of charge.
