Can I use the pack when I sell the property on?

Mike Ockenden (Director General) gives expert video advice on: What do I need to do to obtain a HIP for my new home?; Will I have to pay for a pack?; What will a pack tell me? and more...

You can't really use the Home Information Pack when you sell the property on - you have to get a new pack because you're a new seller and it's a new event of marketing, so whenever you do go to sell the house, you'll have to procure a new pack. It is possible, though it's not clear yet, that the regulations may change over time and, for example, may allow you to use the EPC for a period of up to three years or something like that. Having said that, I think it's probably well worthwhile getting a whole new set of documents for a HIP, because the buyer is going to be so much better informed before they make an offer.
