All home owners wishing to sell a property must have applied for a Home Information Pack (HIP) for the property before we can start marketing it, but don’t worry as we can take care of this for you.
We can obtain the HIP for you by either of the following options:
Option 1.
Obtaining the HIP on your behalf from an accredited HIP provider on receipt of payment from you of £300 + VAT (£352.50). The HIP will be yours and will be supplied to you electronically. We make it available for purchasers who express serious interest in your property.
OR
Option 2.
Obtaining the HIP on your behalf through our choice of local solicitor** and make it available for purchasers who express serious interest in your property. The HIP will remain the property of our choice of local solicitor until you have paid for the HIP in full. The cost of the HIP in these circumstances will be £350** + VAT (£411.25) and will be payable on the earliest of the following:
- The completion of your sale. In this event the cost of the HIP will be added to the solicitors account for the sale of your property.
- On withdrawal of your house from our agency or the completion of the sale of your house to a third party. Or on the 10 month anniversary of the date on which the HIP was commissioned.
- Copies of the pack will be made available to your purchasers or their advisors electronically, or by access to a secure website, at no cost to you. Paper copies will be available to them or you at a cost of £25 +VAT.
**Please note: The Hip will be provided by the local solicitor so long as you use the same solicitor for the sale of your property.
