Home Information Pack Exclusions 
We must sell our homes using the new HIP.
There are always a few exceptions to the rule, but very few will slip through the Home Information
Pack net.
Many people will want to find a way to market their properties without using a home information
pack, but the new regulations compel all house sellers in England and Wales to use the new system.
Buying a new property
Buying a brand new home, will involve a home information pack, provided by the developers.
The pack will not need to contain a home condition report, if the property is marketed off plan,
and offers a warranty, off plan means not yet built, you buy from the plans of the developer.
A new home that is built complete, must provide a full pack.
All other aspects of the HIP must be provided by the developer.
Commercial property
There are no current requirements for commercial property to carry an information pack, most
commercial properties have their own legal requirements.
