Latest News on HIPS

Government announcement 29th March after further consultations and following the ongoing trials

essentially the HIP will need to include:-

EPC (Energy Performance Cert)
sale statement,
evidence of title and index;
evidence that other documents have been commissioned such as Local Search, and will be included in the pack as soon as practicable (and certainly within 28 days)


Also:- The duty to refresh time-sensitive parts of the HIP will not arise where the property is re-marketed by the same seller within one year of the original marketing date

and finally:- Properties already on the market by 1 June 2007 will not need a HIP unless they remain on the market after 31 December 2007

IIRC the finally bit has changed from Nov 07, Mar 08 and now Dec 07.

Any link to the info DNW?

I read that as tighter than previous, as I thought so long as you had applied for the search you were OK, not it has be in there within 28days.

Does that mean EA or vendor? Does that mean that if someone re-sells within 12 months they can re-use the HIP?
