I have had conflicting information regarding HIP. The Vendor has not provided one and is stating that they are exempt because the property is subject to an assured shorthold tenancy. I will be acquiring the property with vacant possession. My solicitor agrees with them but I have seen that this only refers to sitting tenants. I have contacted a couple of solicitors/conveyancers and the general consus is that the vendor needs to provide the HIP but a couple saying they don’t. What is the correct answer to this question.

How can we print off a copy of our HIP? It was conducted by the Estate Agents who are selling our home and they said we could print off a copy for ourselves – they would have to charge us for a copy … of OUR HIP! How do we get a print-out free?
Many thanks if you can help us.

You must have a home information pack in place, if you want to sell your home after 1st June 2007.

However you do not need a HIP, if your property is marketed before 1st June 2007 and is continuously marketed throughout the intervening period, You need a home information pack after 31st December 2007.
