How much will Home Information Packs (hips) cost? The cost of home information packs (hips) have yet to be fully announced, though they are likely to cost between £500 and £1000, this will dependant on several factors such as location, price, condition of the property and also commercial factors.
Who will provide my Home Information Pack (Hip)? This depends largely on how you market your property for sale, if you choose to use an estate agent they are more than likely to provide a home information pack (hip) service and will supply the hip pack for you, this may be their own pack or a bespoke product they have brought in.
