The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) reaffirmed its position on home information packs (HIPs) today: that HIPs should be repealed and the Government should look again at ways of improving the home buying and selling process on the basis that the energy performance certificate can be dealt with outside of HIPs.
Peter Bolton King, Chief Executive at the NAEA, comments: “We continue to urge the Government to rethink its current plans for HIPs. Serious concerns about the proposals as they stand have also been expressed by other stakeholders, including The Law Society, RICS and the CML – who recently referred to the HIP infrastructure as ‘a costly indulgence’.
“In the meantime, we take our responsibilities to our members very seriously. Road shows to help agents understand the implications of any HIPs legislation and how to deal with it have been running throughout the year and a HIPs handling course is on the way. We believe estate agents should be prepared no matter what happens on 1st June 2007.”
