What is the cost to the buyer?

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...

Buyers pay nothing for HIPs, unless, of course, the seller asks for the price of the copy of a HIP. The regulations allow for raising a charge for paper copies of packs, but you're talking about a few quid. I would suggest that most sellers would not go to those lengths. Buyers can expect to get the Home Information Packs absolutely free.
