"A brief reminder that from 14th December 2007 any residential property will need a Home Information Pack (HIP) before it can be marketed for sale. It may be a good idea for you to remind your lessees of the HIP requirement aswell.

Frettens are HIP providers and I have listed some of the benefits of our offering below. You may feel it advantageous to suggest to your lessees that you can arrange a HIP for them as and when required. We would be delighted to prepare the HIP for you!

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further - we may be able to negotiate referral fees where appropriate."

David Walton, Associate at Frettens Solicitors

Why choose Frettens Solicitors as your HIP provider?

1. Knowledge: With one of the largest teams in the south, our Conveyancing Department offers the reassurance of using a well established local firm of solicitors with many years of property transaction experience

2. Personal Service: Sellers need help in dealing with the legal requirements of the HIP and will seek guidance and advice in completing the forms. We are best placed to provide you with that advice, unlike an estate agent or third party supplier with no legal knowledge.

3. Conveyancing: We can also undertake the conveyancing process avoiding duplication of effort and delay. Involving two separate parties, a HIP provider and a conveyancing solicitor reduced the benefits of having a HIP - an inevitable increase in time, which means an increase in costs too. We offer conveyancing quotes online or via telephone on 01202 491711.

4. Online capabilities: Order your HIP online or via telephone on 01202 491711. When the HIP is completed it's available for you to view via a secure portal on our website. We also supply the HIP as a bound hard copy and each separate item contained in the HIP on CD for use by your buyer's solicitor.

5. Insurance: Legal liability is attached to those who supply HIPs and the information that is contained in the pack. As a firm of solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Society, we have appropriate legal indemnity cover

So, when you or your lessees have a property to sell, make sure that you first contact Frettens for your one - stop property service. Please contact David Walton on 01202 499255 or e.mail:- hips@frettens.co.uk for further information.
