Benefits of a Home Information Pack

HIPs can help all parties to commit more quickly and reduce the risk of sales falling through. The packs aim to increase confidence in the sale process from the start by providing key information up front.

Sellers

For sellers, providing a Pack up front should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.

• Sellers: find out how to commission a Pack or compile one yourself and what to look out for.

Buyers

For buyers, the Pack provides essential information about properties they are considering buying - free of charge - and reduces the chance of unwelcome surprises later on in the process.

• Buyers: find out how to get a Pack, and what questions to ask when you receive one.
