General info about Home information packs
Home information packs (also known as HIPs) are now compulsory for all properties listed for sale in England and Wales.Most people will be using the Estate Agent who is selling their property to also provide the home information pack. But is this the best option? The price for a home information pack can vary widely from Estate Agent to Estate Agent. Some are offering extremely competitively priced HIPs and others are not.
What if you want to go with a particular Estate Agent who you think would best sell your house and get you the best price but the cost of their home information pack is the highest? It is possible to save a hundred pounds or more by getting your own HIP done. I can currently offer the home information pack from £239 with no VAT to pay. To find out how much I would charge for a home information pack on your home please use the HIP fee calculator above.
This is available to customers throughout Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and there is no extra VAT to pay. This is very important for the individual customer - remember when you are offered a good price for your HIP "plus VAT" you are adding an extra 17.5% to the cost. In other words if an Estate Agents quotes their home information pack at £230 plus VAT it would seem at first glance to be cheaper, but the final cost to you, unable to claim back the VAT, is £270 - £31 more expensive! I'm only using the price of £230 as an example - you may have found Estate Agents quoting figures of £299, £349, £399 or more, all "plus VAT". If you are interested in purchasing a HIP from me please complete the enquiry form or give me a call. The prices quoted on this page are for a home information pack with payment in advance. If you would prefer a deferred payment arrangement please visit my deferred payment page.
