FirstHips - Home Information Pack Software

In November 2003 the queen during her speach announced the introduction of the home information pack as law. This means that when selling a house or property, by law you now MUST produce a home information pack (HIP). This lens is looking at online software that does this.

Why create a home information pack? 

"The purpose of these regulations is twofold: to improve the home buying and selling process for consumers by improving the flow of timely information and; improve sustainability by reducing carbon emissions."
Baroness Andrews OBE

What does firsthips do? 

Firsthips seeks to achieve government goals by providing a central platform, available to all users involved in the property transaction, while helping each maintain their existing professional relationships.

* We believe that it is the seller's lawyer who should assemble the HIP as currently, under the existing system nearly all documents in the pack are obtained by them.
* Lawyers/Estate agents should not be expected to sign long-term commitments or pay referral fees.
* Improve home buying/selling process for consumers by improving the flow of timely information.
