How Long Does a HIP Last For?

How Long Are Home Information Packs Valid For?

The Energy Performance Certificate is valid for twelve months. This still applies even if the property has been sold and then put back on the market within those twelve months.

Local searches are valid for six months, so it is possible that new ones will need to be included if the property is on the market beyond this time.

If a property has a break in marketing then a new HIP pack is required. However, even if the seller changes estate agency then a new Home Information Pack will not be required providing there has been no break in the marketing.
