EPCs from £60 (No VAT) HIPs from £250 (+ £28 VAT)
Some
estate
agents
will tempt
you with
FREE HIPs,
others no
upfront
charges.
But you
can
be sure
you will
pay for it
one way or
another,
either
hidden in
the
selling
fee or
buried
deep in
the terms
and
conditions.
Most
agents
make you
pay for
the HIP if
you take
your home
off the
market or
move to
another
agent. Ask
what they
would
charge you
for the
pack in
this
situation.
And ask
who will
be
visiting
your
property
to carry
out the
Energy
Performance
Certificate
(EPC)
assessment
– you’d
probably
like to
know, but
most
agents
won’t be
able to
tell you.
If you get
the pack
yourself,
you can
sell
through
any estate
agent, go
multi-agency
or use a
website.
And if you
change
your mind
or want to
switch
agents
you’ll
face no
extra
costs.
As a local
qualified
and accredited
Domestic
Energy
Assessor,
I can
arrange
the whole
Home Information
Pack
(HIP) for
your
property –
promptly,
professionally
and at a
very
competitive
rate.
Or I can
produce
the Energy
Performance
Certificate
(EPC)
for
you
if
you
assemble
your
own
pack.
The Home
Information
Pack and
Energy
Performance
Certificate
requirements
are still
new and
there are
a lot of
misunderstandings
about
them. But
I’ll be
happy to
help if
you have
any
questions.
So for
more
information,
to arrange
your HIP
or to book
an Energy
Assessment,
just call
now or

LANDLORD ? - Click here or call now for more information
Our
accredited
and fully
insured
Domestic
Energy
Assessor is available
to
produce the
Energy
Performance
Certificate
( EPC )
either
for
inclusion
in
the Home
Information
Pack
or to
fulfil
the
landlord's
obligation
for
new
tenancy
agreements.
We
can
also
arrange
the
complete
HIP
for
you
at a
very
competitive
price.
Our
service
will always
be polite,
prompt,
professional,
efficient
and
reliable.
Turnaround
times
are
guaranteed and
should
there ever
be any
queries
they will
be handled
courteously
and with
full
attention.
You
definitely
won't have
to wait on
the line
until
someone at
a call
centre
deigns to
speak to
you, and
you will
know
exactly
who is
visiting
the
property.
This is
not often
the case
when
the HIP is
sourced
through
the
larger,
national
suppliers
as the
vast
majority
of them
have not
even
interviewed
their
assessors.
And we
keep our
appointments.
No waiting
around all
day
wondering
if or when
someone is
going to
turn up.
We operate
across a
wide area
of north
Essex and
south
Suffolk,
from
Ipswich to
Chelmsford,
Clacton to
Haverhill,
including
all the
villages
and towns
within 25
miles of
Colchester.
If you are
a local
Landlord,
Estate
Agent,
Solicitor,
Homeowner,
Search or
Pack
Provider
and
think our
service
could
become
part of
your HIP
arrangement
(or if you
have any
questions) please
contact us
by phone
or email.

Selling
- You
need
a HIP. Letting
- You
need
an
EPC.
A Home
Information
Pack
(HIP) must
be ordered
before the
property
is marketed,
but you
don't have
to pay too
much for
it, and
there are
clear
advantages
in
getting
the
pack
yourself
rather
than
through
an estate
agent or
solicitor.
It's
CHEAPER,
it's
FASTER,
it's
PORTABLE
