The Government has today announced that Home Information Packs (HIPs) and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) will be rolled out to three bedroom properties from September 10.

Following the introduction of the packs for homes with four bedrooms and above on August 1, the Government has today confirmed there will be enough energy assessors, nationally and regionally, to roll out to three bedroom homes next month, having taken into account the operation of HIPs in the market.

At MacLachlan, we prepare HIPS using the latest online systems and if required, the costs for the production of the HIP can be deferred to enable costs to be collected from the sale proceeds of the property rather than as an up front cost.
