home information packs

Home Information Packs are now a reality for anyone selling a vacant residential property.   Marketing of your property cannot be commenced until a Pack has been ordered.

At mfg we can produce your Home Information Pack from as little as £300 plus VAT*. We are the property experts, which coupled with the fact that both us and the Companies providing the necessary information and data that make up your Home Information Pack utilise the latest technology and sources of electronic data, allows us to ensure that your Pack is available as soon as possible.

What’s in a HIP?
The Required contents of a Pack are:-

  • An Index
  • An Energy Performance Certificate
  • Sale Statement
  • Evidence of title
  • Local Search
  • Drainage Search

If your property is leasehold a copy of the Lease must also be provided, but the need to include more detailed leasehold information and documentation has been temporarily held back.

In addition to the above a HIP can contain certain Authorised documents, which are not compulsory and include further searches, for example a Mining Search, warranties, photographs, maps, plans, or drawings and should you wish, a Home Condition Report.

An Energy Performance Certificate, which will grade your home in the same way as you might see when considering purchasing a domestic appliance can only be prepared by a qualified Home Inspector, or Domestic Energy Assessor, who will look at such things as whether the property is double-glazed, has loft, or cavity wall insulation and the efficiency of the boiler.

A Home Information Pack is portable, which means that you are not tied to one Estate Agent, you can still instruct multiple Agents, or change Agents.

At mfg we will guide you through the whole process of selling your home, from preparing a Home Information Pack, through to completion. For more information or to order a Home Information Pack please ask to speak to a member of our Residential Property Division.

*Prices may vary dependent on the number of bedrooms or the location of your property. An estimate of the final costs will be given before your order is placed.
