Home Information Packs, introduced by the government to reform the home buying and selling process, are now mandatory.

The idea is that property sellers will produce a home information pack (HIP) on their property for potential buyers to see before they make an offer.

The seller will pay for the cost of the HIP.

What the pack includes:

• Energy Report
• Title documents of property
• Replies to standard enquiries, such as whether you are aware of any problems with the property (these are currently requested by the buyer's solicitor)
• Copies of any planning, listed building and building regulations, consents and approvals
• Copies of warranties and guarantees work that has been carried out on the property
• Local authority searches
• Drainage Enquiries

Lamb and Holmes are pack providers.

You will be given a unique reference number for you to view/download your Home Information pack online.  Alternatively a hard copy can be made available for you to purchase at a cost of £10.00 plus VAT or a CD for £5.00 plus VAT.
