New Home Information Pack Legislation

From April 6th 2009, if you're involved in selling a home there are changes you need to know about.

From this date, important changes are being made to Home Information Packs. Estate agents and other property professionals will need to understand them to be able to advise sellers and potential buyers.

The current first day market exemption will come to an end, meaning that the basic HIP must be available before the seller can begin marketing their property. Local searches can still be included in the HIP up to 28 days after the first day of marketing.

The new Property Information Questionnaire will be a compulsory document for inclusion in the HIP. The PIQ is designed to be completed by a seller, providing simple, useful information about a property. This can help to inform prospective buyers' decisions about whether to view, or make an offer on a particular property.

In addition, the use of insurance in personal searches to cover missing data will end. Every property search in a HIP must now contain all the required search information.

These changes are being introduced to Home Information Packs so that better information is available at the beginning of the home buying and selling process, and before buyers incur costs. Informed choice by buyers at the start can help reduce delays later on and wasted time for sellers.

For more information please contact our Home Information Pack partner Cotswold HIPS 

PERSIMMON HAS GLOUCESTER COVERED

Persimmon Homes is further proving its commitment to providing high quality homes in Gloucester to suit a wide variety of househunter’s requirements and budgets buy supporting the Government- led initiative HomeBuy Direct, a shared equity scheme.

Properties will be sold under the Government’s HomeBuy Direct scheme, whereby househunters will be required to raise funding, including a mortgage plus any small deposit where available, of at least 70 per cent of the purchase price. The remaining 30 per cent will be made up by an equity loan which is co-funded by the Government and Persimmon Homes. 

Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands, explains: “Households earning less than £60,000 who can not otherwise afford to purchase a suitable property unassisted on the open market will be eligible to apply.”

HomeBuy Direct is available at Persimmon’s Gloucester developments, which include the following:

Kingsway, Quedgeley

The development hosts a beautiful selection of two, three, four and five bedroom properties which are priced from £120,750 for a two bedroom design through HomeBuy Direct. The company has been attracting a host of buyers from first timers and young couples through to executives after a luxury location to call home.

Alison continues: “We’re also selling our much-admired three/four bedroom Leicester showhome at Kingsway, which comes complete with carpets throughout, ceramics within the kitchen and landscaped rear garden.”

The Maples, Gloucester centre (A10)

The development has a number of two, three and three/four bedroom properties which are specifically designed and marketed for families. With HomeBuy Direct, prices start from just £104,997 for a three bedroom home with garage.

The Marketplace, Gloucester

Launched in December, The Marketplace is situated in Gloucester’s stylish city centre. The development hosts a number of one and two bedroom apartments to two, three and four bedroom homes, available in a variety of designs, from townhouses to traditional family homes. Prices start from £119,000 for a three bedroom home. Due to the stage of build, purchasers are also able to cherry pick their favourite plot on the development as well as personalise their kitchen and/or bathroom through Persimmon’s Finishing Touches range.

Alison concludes: “We have developed an excellent level of familiarity of the city as well as an acute awareness of what househunters are looking for in the area. We are therefore confident in the knowledge that we are able to satisfy demand with our range of homes across our developments in the region.”

Pets Corner Success

Since launching ‘Pets Corner’ in 2008 as an integral part of the Michael Tuck Lettings full page advert in the Citizen there has been a significant increase from both tenants and landlords expressing their gratitude of highlighting the importance of keeping pets within the home.

It is sometimes very difficult for tenants to find a suitable property that will allow them to keep their cat or dog at home and many of these animals have either been given to a family member or put in an animal shelter ready for adoption.

Michael Tuck Lettings are pleased to announce they have developed a close working relationship with local firm ‘Animals at Home’ to help tenants look after their pet whilst out of the home for any reason.

Animals at Home is a national pet care company with an excellent reputation," says Ian Lazell, Lettings Director. "The Gloucestershire franchise was set up in 2006 by Jean Kendrick and Wendy Bolton to offer, for example, dog walking and pet visiting services for owners who cannot manage to be at home during the day; house-sitting whilst owners are away on holiday or business; and animal transportation should help be needed in taking a pet to the vets, kennels / catteries or airport – or simply with relocating, nationally or abroad.

Michael Tuck Lettings take the welfare of pets in their properties seriously and working closely with ‘Animals at Home’ landlords can take comfort that any tenants living in their property with a pet have access to a caring professional company if required.

The Michael Tuck-Animals at Home partnership is welcomed by Clarissa Baldwin, Chief Executive of canine welfare organisation, The Dogs Trust. It fits well with a new Trust campaign – particularly as the availability of AAH offers vital support for pet owners.“Pet owners who need to rent privately are being forced to live in unsuitable properties, or rent with their pets without consent from their landlord," said Clarissa. "Even though a dog is for life, in some extreme cases owners are having to give up their beloved pets or else face becoming homeless. It’s a heartbreaking situation so we are consulting with professional housing bodies and letting agents to develop Lets with Dogs, a UK-wide campaign encouraging landlords to accept pet-owning tenants and help owners find the elusive pet-accepting landlord."

Animals at home can also offer advice for ‘new’ pet owners and how to make a property more pet friendly to avoid accidental damage to the landlord’s garden or home.
