    wrong, it remains valid for ever if you keep it on with the same agent, or if you take it off the market you get it back on (with the same or a different agent) within 12 months of original marketing

    It said at least 12 months.

    Timmy.....I fully understand the HIP regulations thank you so I ask you to change your post stating "to help me understand more clearly"

    For a supposed "property solicitor" I'm amazed you gave incorrect advice about HIP's.......
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)
    Ignore......check!

    I don't give incorrect advice, I just need to 'bill and ben' my language far more for some posters.

    The reason I had to join MSE was the shocking advice by some long standing posters.

    The phrase beginning "People in glass houses..." springs to mind If you have such high standards then I suggest you get your own advice right and stop patronising people.

    This thread is not the first, or indeed the second time you've given incorrect advice. In fact, the 'shocking' advice you seek to correct is often correct advice that you have failed to read properly. You either need to slow down or get some glasses.

    Like I said. People in glass houses. Friendly? Second time today you've resorted to name calling.

    If you are a solicitor(!) then I'm not surprised you thinly veil your attempts to attract business from this forum as I'd be surprised if anyone intentionally referred anyone to you.

    You are arrogant and patronising which might be more acceptable if your posts were correct and you'd bothered to read what people had actually written.

    It is also not illegal to ask the seller to pay for updating the searches. I always advice this, after all the point of the HIP was to save the buyer money.

    and I have just read timmyt's definition on independence in relation to the independent mortgage advice which is also incorrect.

    It is very unfair (to forum members) when someone claims to be a professional on a consumer website and posts incorrect information.

    No need to "bill and ben" your language on my behalf! In fact maybe I should slowly and clearly explain HIPs to you as you seem to not know the basic facts.

    You clearly stated incorrect advice about HIPs and I pulled you up on it, if this offended you then tough.....maybe you should go back and read through the regulations so you are clear on the 'advice' you are giving.
