RICS challenges HIPs


The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has issued judicial review proceedings challenging government’s handling of Home Information Packs (HIPs) under the Housing Act 2004 in England and Wales.

It followed attempts to negotiate and discuss with government officials and ministers – increasingly over recent months these attempts have been rebuffed. RICS believes that the government has failed to consult on a major policy initiative.

The resulting potential for a detrimental impact on the housing market, the public and professional firms is great.

RICS’s concerns include:

The government’s implementation of HIPs, which RICS believes has been poorly conceived and will have an adverse effect on the market, consumers and small businesses;

The determination to introduce the scheme from 1 June, despite the omission of significant and unbiased trials on the impact of HIPs;

The belief that current proposals will not have the impact on tackling climate change that the government is claiming;

The lack of qualified and accredited domestic energy assessors for the system to work effectively.
