Thinking of selling my house by auction hoping it will be quicker than the usual method.
Does the house need a HIP?

Looking forward to your advice.

    I think so. At least some of the auction sites carry this info.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Yes, you need a HIP. Selling a portfolio of 2 or more, no.

    Yes you do if your property is in England or Wales.

    I think being in an auction catalogue constitutes marketing and you are required to have commissioned a HIP before marketing.

    If someone were to approach you to buy your property and you have not marketed it - you don't need a HIP
