Home Information Packs - HIPs
You may already be aware of the introduction of Home Information Packs (HIPs) in 2007.
We are preparing HIPs for our clients - and for Estate Agents - who will not be able to market most residential properties without a HIP having at least been ordered.
The HIP contains information about the property, its ownership and its energy-efficiency rating. It also contains Local Authority and Sewerage/Water Searches.
We are also happy to advise you on the HIP that you have obtained from elsewhere if you are thinking of buying a property and need help in interpreting the contents of the HIP.
Some properties won't initially require a HIP before they are marketed for sale - including properties that are tenanted, commercial properties (including those that are part-residential), a property that is being sold to a member of your family and the sale of portfolio properties.
If you need any more information at all then contact one of our team - who will be happy to answer any queries and organise a sample HIP for you.
Place your order by calling our HIPs team on
Alternatively, you can download, print and complete the HIP Order Form at the bottom of this page and fax it to us on York (01904) 611181.
