What is a Home Information Pack

Under the provisions of the Housing Act 2004 a Home Information Pack (HIP), sometimes called a Seller's Pack, must be provided before a property in England and Wales can be put on the open market for sale with vacant possession. There is separate legislation for Scotland that requires anyone selling a property to provide a Home Report.
