How do I arrange a Home Information Pack?

How do I get a HIP? Should I let the estate agent arrange it?

You could do it yourself, but most people will prefer to have someone do it for them. Estate agents will be very keen to organise it for you, and they will do that through their pet HIP provider or solicitor. Once the HIP has been provided in that way, you could lose your choice of solicitor and could end up with the estate agent's solicitor, who may well be at the other end of the country and could be quite expensive.   You may be told that the HIP will be "free", but you will be tied to the estate agent, and the commission charged will probably reflect the additional cost of the provision of the HIP.

We can do it...and give you a discount on your sale conveyancing costs...

We can arrange this for you and the cost is much less than some estimates in the newspapers have predicted.  You will need a solicitor to deal with the sale eventually.  If we arrange the Home Information Pack, we can sometimes spot problems with the paperwork which can be dealt with at that point, rather than delaying a sale when you find a buyer.

You may want to contact us to Get A Quote and we can then tell you about how we arrange a HIP and the costs of doing this.  If we also deal with the eventual sale conveyancing then there will be a reduction in our professional charges if we have also arranged the HIP.
