Home information packs (HIPs)

Since 14th December 2007 anyone who wishes to sell a property on the UK market must first obtain a Home Information Pack (HIP). A HIP is designed to provide any prospective buyer with information about the property.

HIPs include an index of all documents in the pack, an energy performance certificate, a sales statement, copies of the title to the property and a plan of the property and a local search and a water/drainage search.

Stephensons is well placed to provide HIPs as we can either produce the required documents ourselves or obtain them from reliable and efficient sources.

We offer an all inclusive, low cost Home Information Pack for less than £230. Our packs are inclusive of all compulsory documentation*. This consists of:

  • Home Information Pack Index
  • Energy Performance Certificate
  • Sale statement
  • Standard searches
  • Evidence of title
  • Property information questionnaire

*If the property is leasehold, and you do not have a copy of the lease a £20 charge will apply to obtain this.
