Home Information Packs

It is always easier to provide great service if you control all the elements that go into that service. That’s the basis of our philosophy and that is what we have developed with our HIP proposition. From April 2009 service became a bigger issue with the introduction of ‘first day marketing’ Niche can supply all the elements required to satisfy the new legislation along with the floor plans and photos within 48 hours of receiving your order.

So, when service really matters who are you going to rely on?

Congratulations! You’ve worked hard to win an instruction, valued the property correctly and convinced the vendor to put their trust in you. What happens next?
a) The Niche Way - 1 Order, 1 Visit, 1 Exceptional Supplier
b) The Other Way - Instruct a HIP provider – who will instruct a third party EPC provider. Arrange a Floor plan & Photographs, collect the HIP Payment

For most people, buying a home is the most important spending decision in their lives. However, it's often made with less information and understanding than other purchases, and can be a particularly stressful experience for first time buyers trying to get on the first rung of the property ladder.

Recent research suggests that nearly half of first time buyers (44%) are uncertain about the questions they should ask when viewing a property, 85% of first time buyers say that more information would give them greater confidence. (ICM, February 2009)

Changes are being made to the home buying and selling process to help buyers feel more confident about taking this first step and to increase and improve the information available to them right from the start of their home buying journey.
