Selling your home
You have the right to sell your home at any time after purchase. However, you must tell Sheffield City Council of any change in ownership within one month of the date of the transfer of the lease. You should ask your solicitor to send the appropriate ‘Notice of Assignment’.
Sheffield City Council will charge £10 to register any transfer and to record the involvement of any banks or building societies which have granted a mortgage against the lease.
Home Information Packs
The Home Information Pack, or HIP, is compulsory for all homes on the market in England and Wales. It is a set of documents that provide the buyer with key information on the property and it must be provided by the seller or the seller's agent.
HIPs are designed to ensure that buyers have easy access to all important information at the start of the sales process, to try and avoid delays and extra expense later on.
It is a legal requirement to have a HIP and you cannot put your home on the market without one.
