As the deadline for the implementation of the HIP
Regulations approaches, the Government is stepping up
its campaign to educate the population of England &
Wales. From this Sunday 25th March 2007, full page
adverts will appear in he national press.
Home
information pack advice will be contained within
short snappy attention seeking adverts.
TV and press adverts will
continue right through until 1st June 2007 which is the
planned start date for the commencement of the new
regime.
On the 16th March the
Government sent out thousands of leaflets to businesses
likely to be affected by the changes such as solicitors
and estate agents. The message is clear - "Are you ready
for the new HIP regime"? Many undoubtedly are not.
Officials have a tough job
readying both the public and industry for the
forthcoming home information packs. The property
industry is racing itself for an extremely interesting
few months.
