Each option has pros and cons including the amount and effort you spend, the cost of the Home Information Pack, how quickly the HIP is delivered and the quality of the contents.

The quality of HIPS from HIP Providers can vary drastically with many producing non-compliant HIPS by using the wrong documents. There is no compulsory body governing the HIP Providers and anyone can start up a business supplying HIPS from their bedroom.

A HIP Provider can be a member of the HIPCODE or AHIPP, The Association of HIP Providers. Conveyancing Solicitor will give the guaranteed quality, as they are qualified and bound by a legal code of conduct.
