Home Information Packs (HIPs)

 

 

 

The government suspended the use of Home Information Packs (Hips) by home sellers on 20th May 2010.

The requirement for packs will be suspended for anyone selling their home from 21st May 2010, with the government needing legislation to outlaw them completely.

The energy performance certificate, which ranks the energy efficiency of a home with A to G ratings, will be retained and must be produced by the seller within 28 days of putting a home on the market. It costs about £60.
