Residential Purchases
In order to assist our
clients, particularly those who are purchasing a home for the first time
and do not know what to expect, we have produced an information leaflet
which can be viewed by following this link:

September 2007, a Home

implemented on a phased basis which started on 1 August 2007.
The HIP will provide
prospective purchasers with important

are considering buying, free of charge. Some items for inclusion
in the HIP will be compulsory, others will be optional.
