Property Sellers In The Uk Should Prepare For Introduction Of Home Information Packs (hips)
Following the last-minute decision by the British Government on 22 May to delay the introduction of HIPs to 1 August 2007, home owners are reminded that they will be required to commission a Home Information Pack when placing their property on the market. Whilst there may still be speculation both in the media and within the industry as to whether this new date will materialise, particularly in the light of the most recent House of Lords defeat for the Government on the issue, home owners and property professionals should continue to prepare for this eventuality.
