HIPs - revamp DO NOT ABOLISH..read on

Suspend I hope means re-vamp some other pack - like the HIP but without searches, as a compromise. Title up front (with all documents referred to in the registered title, not like you have to do now, which means an incomplete picture) is a very good thing. No 28 days to produce, but up front. Get rid of the searches as that was the main cost.
It seems fair that when putting your house on the market, you produce title upfront - would stop so many people using crap lawyers who never send their own purchasing clients a copy of their title deeds at the end. That is all the HIP should demand - and a property information form (PIQ like now but slightly more informative) which reveals relevant things such as disputes and building works.

My posts are just my opinions and are not offered as legal advice - though I consider them darn fine opinions none the less.:cool2:
My bad spelling...well I rush type these opinions on my own time, so sorry, but they are free.:o
