What do I need to do to obtain a HIP for my new home?

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...

If you're a buyer, what we would suggest you do is - even before you view a house, if you're serious about the property - ask to see the home information pack. The estate agent can decide to give it to you before or after, depending on how serious they think you are. But we would certainly suggest that you make sure you've had a good look at the HIP before you make any offer on the property.
