Anyone selling a residential property has to provide a detailed set of documents including information about its deeds as well as its energy efficiency.
The implementation of Hips has proved controversial among many estate agents and home sellers who believe the scheme has not been properly explained and is too costly.
What is a Home Information Pack?
A Home Information Pack, more commonly known as a HIP, contains a variety of legal documents about a property being offered for sale including an energy rating certificate.
From 14th December 2007 home owners are now required to provide a Home Information Pack (HIP) for buyers when a property is placed on the market for sale.
Home Information Packs relate to *marketing* of the property by any method - you don't need to be selling with an estate agent to comply with or purchase HIPS which are available directly from authorised suppliers.

What will a 'standard' HIP contain?
The main documents included in the HIP consist of an energy rating certificate and other documents required to exchange contracts on the property. The HIP will not include a Home Condition Report (building survey) at this time which is still under review by the government.
