Home information packs are now compulsory for all sellers of residential property in England and Wales (with the exception of tenanted properties and some other minor exceptions).
It is an offence to market a property unless a home information pack (HIP) is available for inspection by a prospective buyer. The purpose of the home information pack is to ensure that certain relevant documents and searches are available, when the property is marketed.
Also, our local authority searches are covered by £2-million indemnity insurance and are widely accepted by the vast majority of mortgage lenders.
Our personal searches are produced to a very high standard, with our average turnaround for a personal local authority search being 5-10 days.
KEY FEATURES
We can produce our HIPs both electronically and on hard copy, by request. We can even offer you a Deferred Payment option.
Deferred Payment - Delay paying for your HIP until your property is sold or after 9 months (there are NO credit checks required for this option, a valid bank account and credit card is required). See FEES section for more information.
This means you can market your home without having to pay for the whole HIP upfront. Contact us for more details on 020 8698 4742 or email us on info@cnchipsearches.co.uk
One-stop service - with one phone call or email, you can obtain HIP, EPC, official or personal local authority search, drainage & water, environmental searches and a range of other conveyancing searches.
3-5 days turnaround - to complete the necessary mandatory documents and get the house on the market. You can use our professional DEA panel or use your own preferred DEA.
Savings in terms of time and administration costs - concentrate on dealing with the needs of your clients and leave the administrative burden to us. This will save you one of the most valuable resources: time.
£2,000,000 of professional indemnity insurance - For your peace of mind, our searches carry two million pounds indemnity insurance. This is our guarantee of a professional service.
Flexible and personal service - We offer a tailor-made service that mirrors your requirements. As your needs change we endeavour to accommodate these changes. We can provide search results by phone for urgent cases.
Search Code - We are registered with the Property Codes Compliance Board as a subscriber to the Search Code and are fully insured.
