Estate & Managing Agents - Action To Take To Get Ready For HIP

1. Find out more. Why not call a dedicated and fully trained personal at HiP Association Group on 07779 712085.

2. Think how HiPs will affect your business practice. Make sure everyone in your agency knows about HiPs and what ‘go live’ means for your business processes on 1 June 2007.

3. Make sure you can advise your customers. Know the product – don’t be caught out. Know your obligations and those of your customers and educate your staff to answer common questions from buyers and sellers on HiPs . In particular, you need to understand the additional value to you, to sellers and buyers of including a Home Condition Report in their HIP.

4. Identify who will provide your HiPs and your Energy Performance Certificates.  This may be your own agency, a solicitor or specialist HIP provider. Given that Energy Performance Certificates are required to be in the Pack from the fist day of marketing a property, you need to ensure that your agency has access to local organisations or individuals who are qualified to prepare these.  Why not call a dedicated and fully trained personal at HiP Association Group on 07779 712085 for all your requirements.
