A vital role in the roll-out of Hips

08/12/2007

FROM December 14, Home Information Packs – known as Hips – will be compulsory for all residential properties. And Northumbrian Water Property Solutions (NWPS) has a huge part to play in the successful roll-out of the new Government legislation.

NWPS provide one of the required elements within the Hip, the drainage and water enquiry (CON29DW). Our search gives information allowing potential buyers to make an informed decision because the report provides essential information on:

If the property is connected to the sewerage and/or water network

Location of nearby sewerage treatment works

Risk of flooding from overloaded public sewers

Potential problems with low water pressure

Water quality analysis.

Our reports are produced within five working days as a national standard and are fully guaranteed to protect the consumer.

We are working with solicitors, estate agents and Hip providers within the North-East to help with the smooth implementation of Hips.

This includes providing two other vital elements of the Hip:

Energy performance certificates

Local authority searches
