HIPs hit 3 bedroom houses
As from Monday 10th September 2007 Home Information Packs or the HIP will apply to all three bedroom houses for sale.
The controversial packs were first introduced for four bedroom houses at the beginning of August. HIPs have been opposed by many surveyors, estate agents and homeowners alike who claim that they complicate the sale process. They were designed to speed up the sale process, but there has not yet been any evidence that this is the case.
Home owners wishing to use the services of Rent Back Direct will not require any Home Information Pack.
