Full roll out for HIPs

All houses for sale in England and Wales will require Home Information Packs (HIPs) from December 14.

It is the final roll out of the controversial packs, which cost homesellers between £300 and £350. Critics claim the packs - which are currently necessary for homes with three or more bedrooms - make it more difficult and expensive to sell properties.

But the Government says they help first-time buyers by providing them with extra information, as they include an energy efficiency certificate, the BBC reported.
