HIPs are history: Pickles suspends Home Information Packs with immediate effect

Published 20 May 2010

In an important step at a point of fragile recovery in the housing market, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Housing Minister Grant Shapps today announced that with immediate effect, they are suspending the requirement for homeowners to provide a Home Information Pack (HIP) when selling their homes.

Mr Pickles today laid an Order suspending HIPs with immediate effect, pending primary legislation for a permanent abolition. The Secretary of State has taken this swift action in order to avoid uncertainty and prevent a slump in an already fragile housing market. Today's announcement sends a clear message of encouragement to people thinking of selling their home that they can put it on the market with less cost and hassle.

HIPs are currently holding back the housing market because sellers are having to fork-out extra cash, sometimes hundreds of pounds, just to be able to put their home up for sale. Suspending HIPs will reduce the cost of selling a home, remove a layer of regulation from the process and provide a welcome help to the housing market during the recovery. It will also mean a saving for consumers to the tune of Ł870m over ten years, giving sellers more money in their pocket to spend in the wider economy.

Mr Pickles and Mr Shapps also said that the Government is determined to help people reduce their energy bills, improve our energy security and tackle climate change by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes. Sellers will therefore still be required to commission, but won't need to have received, an EPC before marketing their property, and the Government will consider how the EPC can play its part in the new drive for a low carbon and eco-friendly economy.

Eric Pickles said:
"The expensive and unnecessary Home Information Pack has increased the cost and hassle of selling homes and is stifling a fragile housing market.
"That's why I am taking emergency action to suspend the HIP, bringing down the cost of selling a home and removing unnecessary regulation from the home buying process."
"This swift and decisive action will send a strong message to the fragile housing market and prevent uncertainty for both home sellers and buyers."
"HIPs are history. This action will encourage sellers back into the market, and help the market as a whole and the economy recover."

Today's move is part of delivering a key manifesto comment made by both parties in the new coalition Government. It will mean that sellers will no longer be told they have to buy a HIP before putting their home on the market, but they will now have the choice to provide one if they want to.

NEWS: Housing market picks up.

Activity in the housing market showed signs of picking up during February after suffering a lull at the beginning of the year, figures showed.

There was an increase in both the number of buyers and sellers entering the market during the month, following falls in December and January, according to housing intelligence group Hometrack.

There was also a 10 percent jump in the number of sales agreed, after transaction levels dropped by 4 percent during the previous month. Richard Donnell, Hometrack's director of research, said: "February is traditionally a month when the Hometrack survey registers significant growth in the number of sales agreed – over the last eight years the growth in sales agreed over February has averaged 30 percent. But despite the increases in activity during the month, the group warned that 2010 had seen a slow start to the year. Yet this year (the increase in) the number of sales agreed has averaged just 10 percent."
He added that there had also been a below average increase in both the number of potential buyers looking for a property and the number of homes coming on to the market.

New buyer registrations rose by 8 percent during the month, a third less than the 24 percent rise typically seen during February, while there was also a 4.6 percent increase in the number of properties put up for sale, compared with an average of around 14 percent in previous years.
But despite the slower than usual start to the year, annual house price inflation still rose to 0.4 percent – the first time it has been positive since March 2008.
At the same time, house prices rose across 25 percent of postcode areas, a level not seen since 2007.
Southern England is continuing to lead the recovery, with prices rising by 0.7 per cent in London and by 0.4 percent in the South East during February.
Price rises were also recorded across half of the market in London and in 30 per cent of areas in the South East and South West.
