FirstHips - Home Information Pack Software
In November 2003 the queen during her speach announced the introduction of the home information pack as law. This means that when selling a house or property, by law you now MUST produce a home information pack (HIP). This lens is looking at online software that does this.
Why create a home information pack?
"The purpose of these regulations is twofold: to improve the home buying and selling process for consumers by improving the flow of timely information and; improve sustainability by reducing carbon emissions."
