HIPs - Welcome to the Home Pack Centre, the place to find information on Home Information Packs / HIPs and Home Pack Professionals in our Hips directory.

Home Information Pack (HIPs) duties have applied to all residential properties in England and Wales marketed since 14th December 2007.  

Properties marketed for sale in England and Wales need a Home Information Pack. The Pack includes an Energy Performance Certificate, containing advice on how to cut carbon emissions and fuel bills. Also included are documents such as a sale statement, searches and evidence of title.

If you're a buyer, you should ask for a Home Information Pack, which contains an Energy Performance Certificate  and a number of other compulsory documents.


If you're a seller, you need to make sure you have commissioned a HIPs Pack by the time that you market your property.

Search our directory to find professional home pack providers, who can give you a home condition report (HCR) and energy performance certificate (EPC) that does your home justice.
