The Home Information Pack (also known as the HIP) is compulsory for most homes on the market in England and Wales. The intention is to ensure that better information will be available from the first day a property is put on the market.
A HIP is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the seller or the seller's agent. It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you can't market your property without one.
If you are buying a property, just ask whoever is advertising it for sale for a copy of the Home Information Pack. This is usually an estate agent, but could be another business or individual.
If you are selling a property, you'll need to make arrangements to have a HIP compiled.
