Anyone subsequently taking out a mortgage on their new property with the Society will get the pack for free.
Steve Aldous, general manager of sales & marketing, at Skipton Building, commented: “Gordon Brown has been in office for 29 days and despite what the pundits have predicted, at this point HIPs are still firmly on the agenda. Whilst many of those planning to offer the packs have since changed their mind we feel it’s important that sellers are not left in the lurch. Therefore, we’re here to help with the house buying process, offering one of the most competitively priced services on the high street.”
Key features of HIPs service:
- £349 including VAT
- Available at Skipton’s 79 branches and via its website
- The full fee will be reimbursed for anyone taking a Skipton HIP between 1 August – 31 December 2007 who subsequently takes out their mortgage directly with the Society within 12 months of the date of their HIP
