Out of date HIP

If you have paid for the HIP its yours so the agent must give it to you. Was it deferred or part of there fees?
As far as the offer is concerned, nothing you can do.

:mad:I'm sorry if this has already been queried, but I am in a blind rage at the minute:mad:. I put my property up for sale early last year and paid for the hips-500 quid-which I was told was valid for 2 years.

After months of no viewings, and a falling market, I took the property off the market. A year later things are looking better so looking to put the property up for sale again, only to be told my hips is out of date and will have to stump up 500 quid again. I am furious:mad:. Can some please tell me if this is correct and why?

And we have to sit there and watch Brown and Darling telling us they are doing everything they can to get the housing market going. What a load of [EMAIL="B@~!!}@~s"]B@~!!}@~s[/EMAIL].

What is that famous quote? 'Can the last person to leave please turn the lights out'

A HIP is valid until the house is sold. However, if the house is withdrawn from the market but put back on within 12 months, the HIP can be reused.
