The list of exemptions may be varied from time to time and is for guidance only. Always consult an expert in conveyancing for detailed information. Current exemptions are as follows:
  • Properties without vacant possession - any property sold with a sitting tenant is exempt from a HIP
  • Short term leases - properties subject to a lease of less than 21 yrs remaining are exempt
  • Non-residential premises - where the property is used for business (normal home/office arrangements are not included in this definition)
  • Dual-use properties - where a business uses a significant part of the property
  • Conversions to non-residential use - where the property being sold will be converted to non-residential use
  • Mixed sales - where a property is sold with a parcel of land
  • Portfolios of properties - where the entire portfolio is being sold as one lot
  • Unsafe properties - where the property is not fit for habitation
  • Properties being demolished - to make way for a new development
  
We are members of the following professional bodies:

If you think your property may be exempt we recommend that you speak to a conveyancer or your solicitor for guidance before you market the property. There are penalties for marketing properties without a HIP if one is required.
