What is a HIP?
A HIP is a set of documents that provides useful information about properties that go on to the market for sale. HIPs are being phased in with 3 bedroom properties and above.
The purpose of the HIP is to reduce time taken to get from offer stage to exchange and completion and reduce the number of transactions that fall through.

What is included in a HIP?
A HIP includes proof of ownership, standard searches and for the first time, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
