How Local HIP can assist Solicitors in benefiting from HIPs 

Solicitors should be able to retain and have an opportunity to increase their market share of conveyancing and house purchase arrangements. By providing an easy to use and fully managed HIP generating process, it keeps you fully informed of progress which enables you to give timely feedback to your client. Such feedback should minimise the time invested by both solicitor and client and buyer and their legal advisers.

  

Our proposition to Solicitors 

 

We are committed to servicing our clients. That is why we are committed to involving the solicitor from the outset of the house selling process.

 

Our market research has indicated that Solicitors should be encouraged to provide legal advice at the start of the sale process. This would enable the Solicitor to obtain searches that are relevant to the vendor’s property, not just those that are required under the HIP regulations.

 

In addition, it gives the Solicitor an opportunity to develop a working relationship with the vendor from sale to repurchase.
