The recent introduction of Home Information Packs (HIPs) in England and Wales by the government means there is more to buying and selling property but it is something our Residential Conveyancing Solicitor team can help you with.
The legalities surrounding Home Information Packs (HIPs) is constantly changing so we would always advise you to consult a member of our Residential Conveyancing Solicitor team for help and advice when you decide you are to buy or sell a property.
Currently, the following documents are "required" in the formation of a HIP and are therefore considered to be compulsory:
- Home Information Pack Index;
- Energy Performance Certificate;
- Sale Statement;
- Standard Searches;
- Evidence of Title;
- Additional documentation is required for leasehold and commonhold sales where appropriate.
If you require more information about Home Information Packs or any other area of Residential Conveyancing please contact Lees Residential Conveyancing department.
