The Government has announced the suspension of Home Information Packs with effect from 21 May 2010.

Homes marketed for sale on or after 21 May 2010 will no longer require a Home Information Pack (HIP) but they will still require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) . Sellers will need to commission an EPC but will not need to have received it before marketing their property.

Bendall & Sons will be happy to recommend a suitably qualified surveyor.
