Home Information Packs

I receive alot of enquiries from potential clients who am pleased to say more often than not decide to use our services. However, i was a little disappointed recently when a potential client told me that their estate agent had told them that a pack from an independent HIP provider, not specifically us, may not be compliant with the legislation.

I completely understand that the property market is challenging at present and agents may not be recieving the same level of revenue they have in recent times but felt it unfair that this particular agent tried to undermine independent HIP providers as a whole; to ensure that they recieved their income from the HIP order.

We have developed great working relationships with estate agents and I am not suggesting that this is at all the norm, far from it.

HIP-Consultant.co.uk continue to build links with industry professionals which as a business we welcome whole heartedly. We take the stance we complement other businesses and provide their clients with a mandatory service/product to a market leading standard.

The happy ending to this post is that the lady did instruct us and was very happy with the service and has offered to provide us with a testimonial.

As anticipated the 1st day of marketing exception has been extended for HIP provision.

Read the Home Information Pack news release which details this amongst other proposed measures.

I would have welcomed the exception being removed as we are able to produce HIP packs efficiently and fairly rapidly as alot of independents are. I felt we may have won additional business without this exception. Organisations and individuals would have valued the service and quick turnaround to a higher degree if the exception had been removed as planned.

However, it has been almost common knowledge it was to be extended, so comes as no suprise.
