It’s not rocket science and many estate agents have frightened home owners with ridiculous claims that the HIP will cost you thousands, it is just not true. Here are the facts:

Since April 6th 2009 all property marketed for sale will require a basic HIP (Home Information Pack) and an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate). The pack contains some search details and title documents on your property and in the case of leasehold a copy of the lease; the EPC is simply a report on your homes energy efficiency much like the rating you see on new washing machines and fridge freezers.

Estate agents need to have a copy of a hip before we can advertise your property on websites or in the paper.

A local family run business in Bromley receive most of our HIP recommendations, they are quick, thorough and best of all they start from £150 and the most expensive one they do is £300 inc vat and that’s for a six bed house.

They can also delay paying for your HIP until your property is sold subject to some terms and conditions, don’t delay moving because of a HIP call us to arrange one today.
