Are you planning to market a property? If so then a Sellers Pack or HIP is what you require. All prospective buyers are liable to have a copy of HIP if they are able to pay for the copies and if they are perfectly eligible to have a hand on the property. However, the Housing Act of 2004 states that you can indeed agree to provide a copy of HIP to the purchaser only if
The person is financially sound to make the purchase and is in no way opting for an ‘in principle’ mortgage.
The person has a genuine interest in the property and is not just trying to do anything out of mere curiosity.
The person is not someone to whom you would prefer to sell your home as you come to like the person on the grounds of race, sex and disability
Self-Compiling Facts
No matter, if you are using an estate agent - still you can self-compile an Home Information Pack. A HIP holds both - some ‘optional documents’ as well as a few ‘compulsory documents’. However, in case you go for common-hold or leasehold properties, the Pack of HIP needs to include certain additional documents as well.
All the essential credentials for the transaction are preferably acquired from definite bodies or sources. Both for the searches and for the legal documents it becomes mandatory for you to depend on a solicitor or conveyancer. At the same time, you can even approach apt local bodies like the Land Registry. Anyway, even a personal search company can make your work done. Moreover, you need to contact a Domestic Energy Assessor or Home Inspector for an Energy Efficiency Rating.
Compilation of Essential Documents
Go to the Internet and download an HIP Index Form with all essential pack contents and information. You are also free to download a sale statement from the website.
At times, you need to employ a DEA for receiving an Energy Performance Certificate. In case when you are in search for both an EPC and HCR (Home Condition Report) you just require a Home Inspector for he is the person who is certified to issue both these documents.
Regarding the evidence of the title, you should contact the Land Registry Office. In case when your home is registered, you are provided with the evidence of the title by the copies of the register and title plan. However, you should be paying an amount for the document you are to receive. When your home does not have a proper registration, you are required to produce an official result regarding the search of the Index Map (SIM). This too you can receive from the Land Registry Office.
Compilation of the Optional Documents
The Home Condition Report (HCR) is the most vital among the optional documents, for which you can get the help of the Home Inspector. Home-use forms and Home-contents can be easily downloaded from the Internet. You can include relevant warranties and guaranties on the property. For incorporating some additional search reports, you can make arrangements for personal searches or can also take the help of the appropriate authorities.
Compilation of the HIP is an important aspect. A good quality HIP is known for its high rate of accurate information and the number of documents; this proves your credibility as a seller of property.
