Residential conveyancing - Home information packs
Further optional items in a HIP may include:
• |
A Home Condition Report (HCR) ; |
• |
Legal summary; and |
• |
Home use/contents forms. |
You do not need a pack if:
• |
You don’t advertise it (selling to family or friend etc); |
• |
You are selling holiday or seasonal accommodation; or |
• |
You are selling a property that is unsafe, or one that is going to be demolished. |
While your property is on the market continuously, there is no legal requirement to purchase a new HIP or update any of the content, except to replace the PEA with an EPC when this becomes available. If you decide to change estate agents or start using an agent where you weren't previously, provided there is no break in marketing, there is still no requirement to get a new HIP or refresh the documents in it.
Even after a year, if your property is off the market after a sale has fallen through,you can go back to the market with the original HIP as long as remarketing starts within 28 days of the sale falling through.
Contact any of our conveyancing team for advice on how to proceed.
