Don't let Hips catch you on the hop
The process of buying and selling a home is to change dramatically on June 1. From that date, sellers in England and Wales will be required by law to have a home information pack or Hip before they can put their property on the market.

Hips bring together a number of documents needed when a property is sold. Most are familiar - evidence of title, searches and leases, for example, along with a "sale statement" detailing basic information about the property and a Hip index listing its contents. There is also one new document - the energy performance certificate (EPC) Hips aim to make the process of buying and selling a home easier by lessening the chances of nasty surprises coming to light at a later stage. The Government also hopes that energy performance certificates will highlight the amount of energy wasted in domestic use and encourage homeowners to take steps to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.
