Home Information Packs: You CAN sell your house without one!

By now, most prospective UK home sellers are aware of the latest government legislation pertaining to the sale of homes: Namely, that any homeowner wishing to sell their property is, as of 1 June 2007, obligated to procure a Home Information Pack (HIP) before putting their home on the market. This batch of documentation, which can be obtained through various HIP providers in the UK, includes a selection of documents regarding the current condition of the property in question. And although HIPs are intended to heighten transparency in UK home sales, they are not without flaws.

Although Home Information Packs will provide buyers with critical information regarding their future properties, many home sellers are understandably apprehensive about this new law. Obtaining the pack not only entails a significant amount of paperwork, but UK home inspectors could charge as much as £1 000 for the complete set of documentation. If you are anxious to sell your home due to financial constraints, you may not have time to waste on tedious administrative procedures, nor the desire to part with such a large sum of money.

But there is an alternative for people wishing to sell their home fast, without the added stress of obtaining a Home Information Pack. When you opt to sell your home to MPG Investments, you won’t be required to produce an HIP, which means that you’ll be saving valuable time and money when you need it the most. In fact, when you sell to MPG, one property valuation is all it takes for us to make you a guaranteed cash offer.

MPG: Why we can guarantee a fast house sale without an HIP

As the UK’s leading property buying company, MPG has established itself as a cash property buyer specialising in guaranteed, fast house sales. And now we are able to bring you even more, by offering you a quick property sale without a Home Information Pack. Despite the latest home selling legislature, simplicity and flexibility is still possible when you turn to MPG.

Home Information Packs serve to ensure that individuals do not enter into a sale without all the information they need to make an informed decision regarding the potential purchase. Buying a home is a massive financial undertaking and, if the deal is not completely transparent, dissatisfaction could quickly set in – especially should one encounter such issues as rising damp or a leaking roof. However, at MPG, we pledge to purchase any home, in any condition, regardless of structural defects such as subsidence or damp, or impending legal action such as repossession. It all begins with one phone call – and within 7 days, you could sell your home and have your cash in hand!

Because of our guaranteed cash offer policy, we do not require a Home Information Pack. Should you, however, choose to utilise the services of estate agents when selling your home, it will be essential to obtain the documentation from home inspectors. This will, of course, delay an already protracted home sale process – after all, it could take up to a year to sell your home through an agent.

What MPG guarantees – and what agents cannot – is a hassle-free, fast house sale without an HIP!

Home Information Packs: Contents and costs

HIPs include a number of mandatory documents, such as an Energy Performance Certificate (also referred to as a home energy assessment), evidence of title, a sale statement and an index of contents. Optional documents, such as a Home Condition Report, may also be included in the pack, and for properties on leasehold, copies of the lease, building insurance policy information, latest service charge bills and receipts and other documents will also be required. To obtain this hefty stack of papers takes time and money that you may not have – so why not take the easy route with MPG? Avoid the unnecessary payments and procedures with a fast house sale!
