Home Information Packs: 

In relation to Home Information Pack (HIPs) we have teamed up with a regional provider in the name of PartnersHIPs part of Browell Smith & Co, that enable us to offer HIPs to our clients either on a deferred or up front payment scheme at very competitive prices.  HIPs became new legislation on the 1^st of August 2007 and anyone selling a property (with exception to a few clauses) requires a HIP.

As of the 5^th August 2009 a new part of the HIP was introduced called the Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ). This is where the seller is required to fill out a questionnaire about the property and submit it with the completed HIP. For further information please contact one of our team.

An important part of buying any property is a mortgage and here at Grant Phillip Lowes Estate Agents we offer a service whereby you can sit down with a fully qualified Independent Mortgage Adviser who will be able to advise you on the best mortgage that suits you for either buying or re-mortgaging an existing property. Please contact one of the team to arrange your appointment today.
