People Ignorant of HIPs
to Housing Market
Law Society Press Release
30 May 2006
New research published today shows most people are totally
ignorant of the biggest ever shake-up of the property market,
which is only one year away. Sixty-four per cent of people
questioned by ICM have never heard of the term ’home information
pack’ (HIP). Only one in three people who are aware of HIPs
realises that the packs will contain important legal documents –
including title documents and local searches.
