Quintessentials for marketing your house – HIP!

It is said that those responsible for marketing a property for sale – whether they are a housing developer, estate agent or private individual – must make a HIP(Home Information Pack) available to prospective buyers on request. Do not miss out on the vital information of your house, as every detail may be crucial to a buyer and it is wrong to keep the buyer in dark about any crucial information.

If you have a rented property and are a private landlord you will need to have an EPC certificate for your property.. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is another vital information that is available as part of the HIP content. In order to issue a certificate it is necessary to conduct a survey of the property either by a qualified DEA. If you have a rented property and are a private landlord you will require having an travel insurance for your travel package.

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) provides a rating for your home in its present condition and also a rating for its potential if certain energy saving improvements are undertaken. The overall assessment is based on a sliding scale of A to F, where A is the highest level (i.e. most efficient) and G (less efficient). To simplify the rating scales a similar method to that used for home appliances (e.g. fridges, freezers etc) was adopted.
