You don’t have to be selling your property with Passion4Homes to take advantage of our highly competitive HIP solution. This service is available to all properties in England and Wales.

From 14th December 2007 Home Information Packs (HIPs) are a mandatory requirement on all residential properties for sale. This means that all properties being marketed from 14th December 2007 will require a HIP.

Passion4Homes is delighted to have partnered with LMS (Legal Marketing Services Limited), a leading provider of Home Information Packs (HIP's) to offer you a one-stop, quality HIP solution. If you are selling your property with Passion4Homes it also allows you and us to get on with the business of selling your property. LMS’s clients include some of the UK’s biggest lenders such as Abbey and Nationwide, so you can rest assured your business in safe hands.

It is now compulsory to have a HIP available prior to marketing. Simply Click Here and you can start right away. Prices are fixed (as detailed above) and a deferred payment option is available. Give us some basic property and contact details and we will take care of the rest. The system allows you to also track the progress of all the documents associated with your HIP at any time.
Passion4Homes has made ordering a HIP very simple.

We do NOT charge any supplement for leasehold, common-hold or unregistered title properties. As an added bonus, optional components can be added to your complete HIP solution if you so require. Typically these additional documents can be a Home Condition Report or Environmental Report. USB, CD or paper copies are also available and will be charged for and payable in addition to the LMS HIP’s price.

LMS HIP’s are produced in English. Braille and large print versions are available provided that they are requested at the time the order is placed but may incur an administration charge.

Why should you buy your HIP from us?

Delegate the compilation of your HIP to us and you will have the freedom and flexibility to go to any agent or even several agents to sell your property - you can even do it all yourself if you so wish. You are in control. Do not get caught up in the "free HIP" offers - there is no such thing! The cost of a HIP is simply moved back to completion and there is always an extra charge somewhere else. If you have a problem paying for your HIP right now don’t worry there is a deferred payment option if that helps!

What's the point of a HIP?

To have the documents you need to complete a sale available right at the start of the process so that all parties are working with all the required information in an easily managed pack.

Why do I, and not the purchaser, have to pay for the HIP?

The idea is to have all the documents in place before you have even begun marketing your property. The whole process will be faster and more certain with the documents in place and you can always include the cost in the sale price negotiation. Apart from the Energy Performance Certificate all the fees are ones that would be required anyway so all that is happening is that you are making the whole process easier for buyers.

What if I don't get a HIP?

You need a HIP by law. If you fail to comply with the regulation you can be fined.
