From 1 August 2007, Home Information Packs (HIPs) are being implemented on a phased basis starting with 4 bedroom properties. Owners of residential properties will have to order a HIP before they put their property on the market.

Since 2004, Stratify Associates have been working alongside estate agents to develop an unbeatable product in readiness for HIP-Day. The result is a best-of-breed solution that established a set of standards for all those involved in the HIP market.

We now stand ready to bring this experience to those involved in the commercial property market, as the requirement for EPCs on commercial properties is April 2008.
