Posts: 22 Forumite
hi all, i ahd my house up for sale last year and had the hip package done through bairstow eves, but put off payment until the house sold. i then took the house off sale and i am now paying £40 a month to bairstow eves for the hip until it is paid off, but the thing is they say i dont get the hip pack until i have paid it off and you do not requir a hip pack any longer to sell your house. can anybody give me advice to stop paying for something i will no longer need ? thanks for any advice given

There is no way not to pay, at the time a HIP pack was required, the work was done and you now have to pay.
If you put the house on the market in the future the energy performance part may still be within date so you would be able to use that again if its any consolation.Credit card debt - NIL

Gutting isn't it. I put my house on the market in March and I have a deferred payment HIP as well. Talk about a total waste of money

Why was it a waste of money? Without it you could not have put your house on the market at the time?0

are you all thick. you all demand a professional service and you think you don't have to pay.Jojo1daffy wrote: »Gutting isn't it. I put my house on the market in March and I have a deferred payment HIP as well. Talk about a total waste of money
and HIPs - if still less than 6 months old - are a blessing as they mean the buyers lawyer can be ready bar their clients mortgage offer, within a few days!
without hips the selelrs are on the backfoot preparing the contract, the buyers then have to delay while they do searches...such a bad mistake to get rid of them.
the government should have capped the price of them at £299 all inclusive.My posts are just my opinions and are not offered as legal advice - though I consider them darn fine opinions none the less.:cool2:

I agree that you should be paying for the HIP in full, but I don't see why you can't have it until its paid for. I'd be challenging them on this point as you ought to have had access to it while your house was on the market.
Imagine if DFS said you couldn't have your sofa until you'd finished paying for it :rotfl:0 -
just ask the estate agent for a link as there was a legal requirement that the proeprty had one, as you and they could have been targeted by the authoritiesMy posts are just my opinions and are not offered as legal advice - though I consider them darn fine opinions none the less.:cool2:
