We are office based and on-line. Our costs are therefore minimal and of course, so could yours. "How much could we save?" Literally thousands of pounds.

"Will we get the same service as any traditional high street Estate Agent would provide?" Yes, and much more. The basic ethics of our company is founded on customer service, efficiency and flexibility. We offer all of the current services that any high street Agency would undertake, but we give our clients the flexibility to interact throughout the full sales procedure. We can take full responsibility for all negotiations and after sales matters until completion, or we offer you as the seller the opportunity to interact with the buyer and be hands on with after sales procedures. If, as a seller you choose our HIPS or Conveyancing Package, you can easily follow the process of your sale via our on-line tracking system. "Can we use traditional Estate Agents as well as HIPS Home Move?" Yes. Once you have registered with HIPS Home Move there is no sole selling agreement in place and you can market your property with as many agents as you like. This will give you more coverage and enhance your opportunities for a swifter sale. "Will we have to stay with HIPS Home Move if we purchase the Home Information Pack through yourselves?" No. A lot of Estate Agents may want to extend their contracts from 6 months to 12 months, or they may administer a withdrawal fee to move to another agent. As we are a NO-COMMISSION Agent you have the flexibility to move without consequence. "Will I have to pay for the Home Information Pack before I market my property?" No. We can offer you alternative payment options including a deferred payment until completion or an optional monthly interest-free credit payment plan. "Can we still advertise our property with HIPS Home Move if we decide to go with another Agent?" Yes, but we would recommend that you make the Agent aware of this upon signing a selling agreement, as you may still have to pay the Agent a fee even if Hips Home Move find a buyer.
