Selling your house is probably one of the most significant financial transactions of your life and we understand how important it is to achieve the best possible price for your home.
We can provide useful hints on making your home as attractive as possible, from the first impressions, to the last. But what has now become essential for the sale of all homes are the Home Information Packs ( HIPs) designed to rationalise the house-selling process.
The packs contain a number of legal documents including:
- An Energy Performance Certificate showing exactly how energy-efficient the property is which must be no older than 12 months at the first point of marketing.
- Local Authority searches which must be no older than three months at the first point of marketing
- Legal title documentation
- A list of contents
- A sale statement setting out the basic terms of sale
At Whitehorn & Guard we understand however that you may feel unsure of the new system and offer the solution of ordering your HIP. This not only gives you peace of mind that your property is presented to the market efficiently and quickly, but that ownership of the HIP remains yours.
