Home Information Packs

London Estates now provides Home Information Packs (HIPs) for sellers.

A HIP is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the seller or the seller's agent. It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you can't market your property without one.

The following documents are included with the HIPs we produce:

Freehold properties

• Home Information Pack Index
• the new Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ), from 6 April 2009 
• Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA)
• sustainability information (required for newly built homes)
• sale statement
• evidence of title
• standard searches (local authority and drainage and water)

Leasehold properties

• all the compulsory documents above
• a copy of the lease
