All properties marketed for sale from 14 December 2007 in England and Wales need a Home Information Pack. The pack includes an Energy Performance Certificate, containing advice on how to cut carbon emissions and fuel bills. Also included are documents such as a sale statement, searches and evidence of title.

Need a HIP?

Big HIPS is committed to producing cost effective, fast and concise HIP's for the Leeds and West Yorkshire. Unlike national HIP providers, we have an intimate local knowledge that can help speed up production of your HIP and hence the marketing of your property.

We understand that all properties are different and that the requirements of the information contained in a HIP will vary dependent on the property to be sold. If the property is leasehold, has an unregistered title or is freehold and has an unregistered title, will all be governing factors in the cost of the production of a HIP.

Legally you can only market a property once you have commissioned a HIP. Big HIPS will allow you to remove the unnecessary risk of delays that could be caused when marketing your property. We will normally produce your HIP within a week.

The HIP is required regardless of whether you have decided which estate agent you are going to use to sell your property. Prior to having any valuations and market appraisals done on your home, it would be prudent to have a HIP available for you to discuss with your estate agent as this may have a bearing on the overall value of your property.

For example, if a new motorway is built at the bottom of your garden, your property has a very low energy efficiency rating and you have a public right of way leading through your land......, then all of these have an impact on the saleability of your property and possibly the price that you could achieve.

Alternatively, if there are no restrictions on your property, no evidence of future development and you have a higher than average energy efficiency rating, the value of your home may increase, in turn the transparency should enable you to sell your property quicker.

The introduction of HIP's will save time consuming renegotiations later in the sale process, by using hullhip.co.uk sellers will be able to have all the facts at their finger tips whilst discussing the marketing and value of their property with their chosen estate agent. This will enable the agent to know all the facts and give an accurate assessment on the property. After all in both cases forewarned is forearmed.
