yeah; we could have gone in more sensible with the offer - but all the signs indicated that they wanted a fast sale so seemed the right thing to do given the circumstances! | |

This will agian be put back as the market is not ready for it and there are not enough experts in the field to deliver this | |

From 1 June 2007 all home owners in England and Wales will need to arrange for a Home Information Pack to be prepared before putting their homes up for sale. The Packs will contain an Energy Performance Certificate, searches and legal documents, which will be mandatory. A Home Condition Report can also be included by sellers on a voluntary basis. | |

I thought the HIP idea had been scrapped for now? Or has it just been slimmed down a little? | |

Home Information Pack (iirc) - basically it will become the sellers responsibility to provide all of the searches and surveys; higher costs to sell your house; but reduced cost to the buyer hence it being in the sellers interest to sell before 01/06 | |

i got an offer on mine last week that was 13k less than the asking price. i turned it down as it had only been on the market for 3 days. I can deffo understand them making the offer tho as they dont know my situation and i could have been desperate. they haven't come back with a better offer tho so i guess thats all they could afford. | |

I know but they want a quick sale and if you dont ask you dont get - plus a lot of estate agents are recommending sellers to sell before june 1st when the HIP gets bought in! | |

People who bought my house put in a stupidly low asking price, so we waited till they offered more than if they had put a decent offer first time. | |
