Title at 12 quid, EPC at about a hundred, searches at say 150, plus a pack prep fee. 350 at most, which is half your claimed figure. Here you go Fran, Quote from the partnership ltd An authorised local authority search can cost £300 alone, let alone the drainage search, which is about £45. You’ll then need to spend at least £7 on the title docs from Land Registry. And you’ll not get an EPC for much less than £125. HIP providers need software, which is generally charged out at about £40 and £100 per transaction, and you’ll start to see that the margins are getting slim. The partnership ltd currently charge £595 plus vat for an authorised HIP, We have also had hips quotes from £600 to £850 plus vat You’ve still not answered where you get your costs from.

Are you mad….

You spend £4000 plus vat to make £10000, when for £60 you could have made £14000

I think estate agents are in for a shock more homeowners should sell their homes in the local paper..

HIPs might be a revenue stream for them, but the margins will be very low indeed: pretty pathetic when compared to overall commission levels.

We are told to advise anyone who comes in with a query about Hips, that A, they must have one and B that to sell as 3 bed to avoid hips is illegal and will reduce property prices I other words we use scare tactics, as HIPs is a revenue stream for us. I am not proud of this but at least i can voice my concerns on sites like this Kelly As an estate agent what Peter says is correct.
