HIPs were first introduced on: -
1st August 2007 For the sale of homes with 4 or more bedrooms.
10th September 2007 For the sale of homes with 3 or more bedrooms.
14th December 2007 For the sale of homes with 1 & 2 bedrooms.

Currently, if you can prove that your property has been actively marketed by before the deadline dates listed above, then you will not need to order a HIP although as of 1st October 2008 all properties for sale and let will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

Clarets are able to provide you with an EPC for £99 plus VAT.

You can find out more about Home Information Packs, exactly what they contain, and the impact they have on both buyers and sellers at the following address http://www.homeinformationpacks.gov.uk
