AHIPP welcomes clarity on HIPs
The Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP) today welcomed the clarity that the Government has provided to all parties in respect of the HIP regulations. By addressing the loose ends that were outstanding with the transitional arrangements property professionals can plan for the spring with certainty.
Mike Ockenden, Director General of AHIPP, said ‘The introduction of the Property Information Questionnaire when coupled with the expiry of the first day marketing provisions means that consumers will become much more engaged in the HIP process and be better able to judge the value that they bring to buying and selling homes. AHIPP and its members are committed to delivering the benefits of HIPs both in making buyers much better informed about the houses they are viewing and streamlining the legal process through the roll-out of ‘exchange ready’ packs.
