New Build HIPS Print E-mail
Monday, 14 April 2008
From today, all new build properties must have a HIP before marketing can commence. Previous regulations, exempting properties built to 2006 Building Regulations, have been superseded meaning a HIP must be ordered and paid for on any new build or off-plan development marketed for sale.

Abc-hips.co.uk are informing developers and estate agents they can face fines of £200 per day per property should they be found to not adhere to the HIP regulations. Responsibility for obtaining a HIP rests with the company marketing the property.

Developers and their agents should take care in their understanding of when marketing of a property has occurred. Any public communication is considered marketing including notice of future developments on a company website.

Cost-effective new build HIPs are available from
Abc-hips.co.uk from £99 + vat. Full details can be found at New Build HIPs.
