The provider quality checks every HIP it produces to make sure any error is picked up and dealt with as soon as possible.
Common errors found in HIPs are:
• The wrong search is added on to the wrong property;
• One or more HIP components are missing from the HIP;
• Incorrect leases are included for leasehold properties;
• Incorrect property descriptions are included
Commenting on this, Robin Marcus, director at Easier2move, said: “The fact that a proportion of all HIPs produced contain an error of some kind, even if it is only a minor one, can really slow down the home buying process… It is important at a time where income streams are stretched and business opportunities limited, that advisers and estate agents use providers that they are sure can offer a seamless service to their clients.”
