Pulling together my own HIP

I'm thinking of pulling together my own HIP.

Has anyone here already done it?

TIA

    Yes. Joyous experience. :rolleyes: I think you can get it cheaper elsewhere now to be honest unless you decide to go to the council and dig out the answers for the local searches yourself.

    The government communities website was the most helpful for me - lets you know what you need and several of the forms printable from there.

    I really resent the things.

  • Can I ask what sort of cost was involved?

    Thanks

    Big house; I think it ended up around 230-250 quid. The energy assessment can be got cheaper than I paid back then and carrying out personal searches myself would have cut the cost of that from 95 to 11 pounds!
