    For a commitment on the HIP of only £250 or so I’d get on with it. It’s prime selling time May and June.

    I got mine through budget-hips.com and they were extremely quick and efficient.

    Currently they are charging £189+VAT. Good luck!

    No, I found them online www.Hipview.co.uk. The company I'm using is called PALI
    I got their local office number off the website and called them direct, I did make sure though that the price online was the price I was paying!!!


    I called them on tuesday they started it tues afternoon, wed morning I did the HIQ (home info Questionnaire) and yesterday a guy came round to do the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) Then this morning I got a nice email saying...

    The essential documents for the following property are ready and it can now be legally marketed

    How quick is that then :T

    Very happy with the service cant fault them, would defo recommend them

    If no joy trying it yourself, i would try housesimple to get rightmove coverage, they only charge 0.5 percent, very similar to housenetwork but no upfront fee.

    anyway good luck with selling your house.
