HIPS Home Information Pack

What is a HIP?

A HIP is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property. This information must be provided by the seller or the sellers agent.
It is a legal requirement to have a HIP & you cannot market your property without one.

What does a HIP contain?

The HIP is made up of compulsary & optional documents.

The following documents must be included in the HIP:

  • Home information pack index
  • Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ)
  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

  • Evidence of title
  • Sale statement
  • Standard searches

The following documents are optional to the HIP:

All the compulsary documents listed above are required for Freehold & Leasehold Properties.
