Home sellers packs “avoid them now”

From Dec 14, every person selling their home will have to pay up to £700 for a home sellers pack or Hip, the Government announced yesterday, OR maybe not…

 The home sellers pack can be avoided in its entirety, just by calling your BEDROOMS ROOMS fact not fiction…

“Under planning law, it is about whether rooms are habitable, not whether they are bedrooms or not.”

Therefore call your bedrooms, rooms you are HIPs and EPC free,  on all home sizes from 1 bedroom homes and flats to 4 bedroom and larger properties.

An estimated 1.7 million properties are marketed every year, with about 333,000 of those being advertised speculatively by home owners testing the water.

However, about half of those homes put on speculatively end up being sold after the owner receives an offer they cannot refuse.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) predicted that, with these properties disappearing from the market in one fell swoop, activity will “grind to a halt” with buyers left chasing a very small number of properties.

A review carried out for the Government by Europe Economics, published yesterday, found that the packs had already deterred people from putting their houses up for sale.

There is no legal definition of a bedroom, call your home is you like 3 up 2 down or 5 room home, you choose.

Whichever you choose the home sellers pack is not needed and you save £700 plus a load of hassle.
