Good luck with the valuations!

Im at the same stage as you, just had 3 valuations done.

*Waves*

Thank you. I've had one valuation I'm very happy with tonight. And HIPS was done today, so just need to wait for 2 more valuations. Oh and spend the weekend cleaning top to bottom.

If I’m reading this right, the whole point of the solicitor redoing the searches is because there’s been a bit of time since they were originally done. A month is enough to make them out-of-date.

You did pay for the searches on your own property to be done when you paid for the HIP.

You don't pay for all, only a few. So basically if the searches in the HIP run out in as little as a month, it's a pointless exercise. The whole point of the HIP was to make less searches (although there's still some they don't do).

Hope you are as pleased with the other 2 valuations. 2 of my valuations were the same and the other was £5k-£10k lower than the other 2.

Im holding off on the HIP and therefore selling right now, just to see if HIPs get scrapped. Not in a rush to sell and if they get thier butts in gear should know either way by the end of this month, I hope. If not i'll just get on with marketing it at that point I expect.

You only need to redue the searches if you are getting a mortgage and you really only need the local authoirt search up to date, its just part of the lending criteria. all councils charge a diffrent amount, depends where you are

Quick update...

On Saturday morning we accepted the offer of £128,500 on our flat, on the condition that we are given time to find our next place. The buyer has agreed and will move into rented if needs be.

So.. very exciting now, we can start to properly start our own property search. Seeing two flats on Thursday and have a couple more saved on Rightmove that we want to see.

Good luck to everybody else!
