So we’ve passed the 6 April. The changes to home information packs have been introduced, the main one being the Property Information Questionnaire. But another change has occurred and this is one that will affect the price of HIPs. It’s the abolition of insurance covering any omissions from the Local Authority Searches.
This means that these searches must be complete with no gaps in order to be included in a fully compliant HIP. With the councils we have worked with so far, an additional Highways Search has been required. But of course every council is different, with differing charges and searches.
We have fixed price HIPs for the following council areas in Surrey: Mole Valley, Reigate & Banstead, Epsom & Ewell and Guildford. For all other areas, we ask potential clients to contact us directly or complete the HIP quotation request form here.
