If you are selling

From 2007 it will be compulsory for most house sellers to provide a Home Information Pack BEFORE they place their property on the market.

Obtaining Searches, producing details of title, compiling property information and being able to assemble these into a package that is available electronically as well as on paper is something you will want to trust to an expert - especially as there are penalties for those who get it wrong.

There are likely to be many organisations who will try to persuade you they can supply a HIP. In many cases they will have no knowledge or expertise in house transactions - and no previous experience.

When thinking of selling your home in the future remember these key points:

• We have been dealing with house buying and selling for over 100 years.
• We have accumulated a wealth of local knowledge as well as expertise in the wider housing market.
• We have direct electronic links to search providers for speed and accuracy in the preparation of HIPs.
• We have been a trusted party in thousands of house transactions.
• We will be able to avoid delay in your marketing your property by assembling your HIP quickly and accurately.
• We are available to deal with you personally and immediately - we do not have a call centre and our switchboard does not have multiple options.
• We can advise you directly on important questions such as what level of information you have to provide or whether additional information may be necessary.
• By getting it right at the outset you will be able to maximise the marketing potential of your home and obtain the best price.
