Selling your Home

If you intend to sell your home you will need to instruct a solicitor before you place your house on the open market. This is because all sellers need to put together a Home Information Pack (HIP) before they can sell their property. Your dedicated specialist at Colman Coyle will guide you through this process and put together the HIP on your behalf.

What is a HIP

A HIP is an information pack that contains a number of legal documents including a copy of the title, search results and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which contains all the green information about your property.

Why do you need a HIP

A HIP is essentially an attempt by the government to speed up the homes buying and selling process by us getting all the necessary documents together before you market the property

How Colman Coyle can help

You will need to involve solicitors from the moment you decide to sell up. Here at Colman Coyle, all the introduction of the HIP means to us is that we carry on doing everything we have always done; we will just put it in a common format.  We can arrange this for you.  We do not charge you for our time involved in preparation of the HIP, just what it actually costs to gather all the information.

What happens after your HIP has been prepared

You can now put your property on the open market. Once you have a buyer we will be the main point of contact for the buyer’s solicitors and will handle everything on your behalf. We will let you know what is happening at every important stage and protect your interest right up to the date you finally move out.
