The Government has announced the roll-out of Home Information Packs (HIPs) to all properties marketed for sale in England and Wales from 14 December 2007, whatever their size.
Q & A
Q. I am selling my property which includes fourteen acres of land. An estate agent has told me that I will not need a HIP. Is this true?
A. It depends. If your house is being marketed as a residential property then yes, you will require a HIP, regardless of the amount of surrounding land. However, if the property is a farm and being sold as such, you will not need to commission a HIP.
