Home Information Packs
How long is it valid for?
It’s valid for 12 months from the issue date, but a local search is only valid for three months so it will need to be updated.
What happens if don’t have one?
You can be fined £200 per day for every day the pack is not available.
How much do they cost?
A pack for an average home will cost in the region of £250-350.
Where can I get one?
You can get one from an estate agent, solicitor, specialist pack provider, or compile it yourself.
Will newly built homes need one?
Yes. When a home is not completed and is marketed as off-plan, it will still need a HIP, but because it won’t have a full Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a Predicted Energy Assessment will be acceptable.
