Homes marketed from 21st May 2010 will not require Home Information Packs HIPs, but will still require an Energy Performance Certificate EPC. This would save vendors on average £300 when they put their property on the market, this move will also encourage home sellers to put their properties onto he the propety market knowing they don’t have to stump up about £300 for something that was not working for the property market.

This is great news and is most welcomed by property professionals and vendors. This will help the UK property market to recover so now could be a good time to sell your home.
