Home Information Packs (HIPS) including Energy Performance Certificates will
be implemented on a phased basis from 1 August. From then, Packs will be
required for the sale of four bedroom properties and larger, with smaller
properties being phased in as soon as sufficient energy assessors are fully
qualified. Until the end of this year, properties can be marketed as soon as
a pack is commissioned, and as a temporary measure Energy Performance
Certificates can be up to 12 months old when a property is put up for sale.
At Oliver Minton, we have agreed solutions with a number of HIP providers
and locally based Domestic Energy Assessors that will enable us to still
maintain our long-established relationships with a number of local
solicitors. This will enable us, with the minimum of fuss, to still manage
effectively for you, the whole process from initially putting your property
on the market, achieving the best possible price in the least possible time,
all the way through to the house sale completion.
We also have a number of payment options which we will be pleased to
discuss. In the first instance, call Oliver Minton on 01920 822999.
