Who is doing your HIP? You need to ask them how long it is valid for. I asked my HIP provider the same question and they told me that current legislation is that it is valid for a year, but apparently the goverment keep changing their minds ![Sneaky](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sneaky.gif)
Also one thing to bear in mind. Included in your HIP is the Registry of Land which proves that you own the house and are entitled to sell it. Some solicitors are also trying to charge for getting this document. You only need it once but may end being charged twice for it.

I questioned the bloke today about how long the HIP pack is valid for and he reckons there is still some uncertainty about whether it is 6 months or a year ![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
He was also saying that some HIP packs don't have all the same tests done so there is some inconsistency as to what is being put in them.
The website is so confusing saying all tests are not mandatory so he goes onto say how can it be compulsary to have a HIP pack, he says there is a lot of grey area and no one knows whats going on.
So thats cleared that up then

Well, this weekend, we are going to do the final touches to our rental flat and today I'm ringing round trying to EAs in to value it next week.
