What happens if I don't provide a HIP?

Mike Ockenden (Director General) gives expert video advice on: Will the cost of a pack vary according to the age of my home?; What if I can't afford to pay for a Hip?; What happens if I don't provide a HIP? and more...

What happens if you don't provide a HIP and you break the law, is somebody will come around and fine you. It is an offence under the law and you can be fined £200 by a local trading standards officer. That £200 is actually for what they call each event of marketing. If you carried on doing it, they could come around and slap you with another £200 fine, and then another. Anyway, why wouldn't you want to have something that helps you sell your house?
