(British) A Home Information Pack.
A British colloquial term for the Home Information Pack (HIP), a government-mandated bundle of documents that UK home sellers were required to prepare and provide to potential buyers between 2007 and 2010. The pack included an Energy Performance Certificate, local authority searches, and title documents. The scheme was controversial — critics called it expensive and bureaucratic — and was scrapped in 2010, making 'Seller's Pack' a term now encountered mainly in historical discussions of UK property law.
Another name for a fanny pack (American English) or bum bag (British English) — the small zippered pouch worn on a belt around the waist or hips. 'Hip pack' is arguably the most anatomically accurate of the three names, since the bag usually sits right on the hip rather than the belly or bum. Whether you're hiking, hitting a festival, or just want your hands free while running errands, the hip pack has made a massive fashion comeback after years of being unfairly mocked.
A bundle or shipment of goods.
