HIPs Happening!
We continue to see many new properties in Bradford coming onto the market through our offices in Guiseley, Horsforth, Morley, and Pudsey. This trend is likely to continue in the next six weeks as we approach the 1st June when the provision of a Home Information Pack (HIP) becomes compulsory when selling residential properties in England and Wales.
Telegraph & Argus - 13th April 2007

HIPs Happening!
The Government has confirmed its intention to make the provision Home Information Packs compulsory when almost all residential properties are put on the market for sale in England and Wales. The relevant date is the 1st June when sellers of property will be obliged to provide details of whether the property is freehold or leasehold, proof of ownership, a local search (or proof that one has been applied for) and an Energy Performance Certificate. This will typically add around £500 to the cost of selling an average property and see the disappearance of a ‘no sale – no charge’ market place which has existed for many years.
