Home Information Packs (HIPS)
Home information packs advice, solicitors in newport monmouth and south wales
Anyone putting a residential property on the market must have a Home Information Pack available for inspection by prospective buyers. The idea is that prospective buyers will have all the necessary information before they make an offer to purchase.
Who will prepare the packs?
Estate Agents have traditionally been the first port of call for someone wishing to sell a property and they will often seek to refer sellers to “HIP Providers” with whom they have an arrangement.
There is no doubt however that the person best placed to prepare the packs is the seller’s solicitor. He or she already has the necessary expertise and experience of this type of work and will often already have the deeds and other relevant documentation (especially if he or she acted in relation to the purchase of the property).
Jacklyn Dawson have several solicitors who specialise in residential conveyancing and have the expertise, experience and facilities to prepare Home Information Packs quickly. This will enable you to market your property without delay once you make the decision to sell. If you intend to put your house or flat on the market speak to us first and we will give you all the information that you require and will be pleased to prepare the Home Information Pack in a professional and efficient manner.
On the basis that we are instructed to act in the eventual sale of the property, we do not make any charge for preparing the HIP and will only ask to pay certain disbursements such as your Energy Assessors fees and search fees.
