It would appear that practitioners views on the Home Information Packs (HIPs) are still divided. A number of practitioners who helped devise the policy are still to be convinced as to the merits of the HIP. The House of Lords Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee has suggested that the policy remains under review. Remember however, that from the 14 December 2007 all residential properties in England and Wales being marketed require a HIP. A temporary provision (until 1 June 2008) means you can however begin marketing the property so long as you have commissioned the HIP and it will arrive within 28 days.
