Home Condition Report
The Government introduced the HOME INFORMATION PACK (HIP) in June 2007.
The intention was to speed up the buying/selling process and reduce the risk of “gazumping”.
Originally the HIP was to consist of three parts:-
-
Legal documentation, contracts, searches and the like
-
Energy Performance Certificate
-
HOME CONDITION REPORT (HCR)
The Government has delayed the HCR for the time being.
The HCR was never intended to be a FULL BUILDING SURVEY or a HOMEBUYER SURVEY AND VALUATION but was a report that would have been available for a prospective purchaser to enable them to make a reasoned and informed “offer” for a property.
The report classifies each element and provides a condition rating.
We have no information as yet as to the date of introduction. For further information please go to: www.homeinformationpacks.gov.uk
