Some estate agent HIPs are not fit for purpose, says Law Society

3 months ago 07th Oct 09:56

“Anyone who buys a HIP from an unregulated estate agent or HIP provider might as well throw their money away.

“It makes perfect sense in a slow market to use the time you have properly and instruct a solicitor not only in the preparation of a HIP but on all the paper work that is involved in the selling of your home, including the contract, as soon as possible.

“All the research shows that instructing a solicitor early on in the transaction will speed up the process of selling a property significantly and ensure it runs as smoothly as possible”
