If you're sceptical about paying anything, to anyone, until you know the HIP's been finished... this is the option for you.
In this case we generally take payment a week to ten days after the HIPs been ordered.
If you have certain dates which are best for us to take payment (ie. after pay day etc) please let us know & we'll try our best to work round that !

As an aside to the figures we're not just registered with the Hipcode we're also members of the Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP). ie. your estate agent will be happy that we're providing your HIP.
A lot of "online" HIP providers only subscribe to the HIPCode & aren't members of AHIPP.... You wouldn't deal with an Estate Agent who wasn't a member of the National Association of Estate Agents.... so you might want to take the same precaution when dealing with people who aren't members of the official Trade body...
We're also a Limited Company whereas some of the online HIPs providers are "one man bands". It might be worth bearing this in mind when picking a provider...
As a final comment, due to the recent legislation changes, Search prices have jumped recently. If you're shopping round you should check you're being offered a fixed price deal... At least one "cheap" online firm isn't !
If you're happy to proceed, with which ever payment option, please click on the Instruct Us button, answer the questions, & we'll start working on your behalf.

If you would like to simply order an EPC only please contact us by phone or email & we'll be happy to supply you with a stand alone EPC for £65 + VAT
We're Registered with the HIP Code (Property Code Compliance Board), are members of AHIPP (Association of Home Information Pack Providers), carry £2 million in indemnity insurance, are a limited company and generate HIPs (Home Information Packs) throughout England and Wales....
As you'd expect our HIPs include; The Sale Statement, Index, EPC, PIQ, Office Copies, Official Water & Drainage Search and Local Authority search. ie. all the required components of the HIP.
The HIP will be sent out in two parts (as per the current legislation). The first part will contain all the information necessary to market the property & the second part will contain the Local Authority Search.
Our average turnaround time, at present, is approximately 3 - 5 working days for the provision of the first part of the HIP.
If you're interested in discovering the benefits of ordering HIPs independently of your estate agent please refer to our benefits page where we've listed a few thoughts for your reference.
Additionally if you're trawling through the internet looking for a HIPs provider & aren't sure what to look out for please visit our online hips page.
Please refer to Point 8 of our FAQ1 page for further information about our payment terms.
* On a final note we can also provide "Exchange Ready HIPs".... This will speed up the overall selling process as it'll contain more information than HIPs currently do (ie. it does more of the conveyancing).... All our HIPs are HIPcode approved but if the Tories ever gain power this may become the future of the HIP product and we're preparing ourselves just in case.... Remember where you heard the phrase first !
