LANDLORDS

An initial meeting at your property to offer our opinion as to a realistic current market value and presenting a good opportunity to discuss the property’s potential and offers any advice that you may require. We will discuss the service we offer, in as much detail as you wish, and answer any queries you may have.

Marketing - By instructing us to market your property , first thing we need to get is HIPs.

What is HIPs?

It is a set of documents, provided by the home seller, giving important information about a property to a potential buyer including its energy efficiency, searches and evidence of ownership.

What will be in a HIP?

Certain items are compulsory, including:

• An Energy Performance Certificate
• A Sale Statement (summarises the terms of the sale)
• Evidence of title (the legal right to ownership of the property)
• Standard searches, for example local authority enquires and a drainage and water search

Leasehold, common hold, incomplete or brand new properties require further information to be included. Sellers will have the option to include a Home Condition Report, however this is likely to cost extra. It is similar to a Home Buyer Survey, has to be carried out by a qualified Home Inspector and gives an objective opinion on the condition of the Property.

Where will I be able to get a HIP from and what will it cost?

Numerous organisations have set themselves up to compile HIPs and costs vary from provider to provider. We have a range of market-leading HIP options for our sellers to choose from.
