Finally, make sure you have a Home Information Pack (HIP). Since December 2007 it has been a legal requirement for all properties on the market in England and Wales to have a HIP. The pack will include an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), containing advice on how to cut carbon emissions and fuel bills. Other documents such as a sale statement, searches and evidence of title must also be included.
