HIPs for solicitors

Solicitors and conveyancers can extend their services in the property market using the Law Society or white-label HIPs services, powered by MDA Advantage. This straightforward online system also enables you to prepare HIPs on behalf of estate agents.

The Law Society online HIPs service

An all-inclusive service provides solicitors with access to a quality, professional pack including all the required and authorised documents, the ability to order Energy Performance Certificates and Home Condition Reports and a choice of delivery formats.

There are no up-front disbursements and a deferred payment option is available. The Law Society brand can be featured along side your firm's logo on the cover of each HIP, offering your clients and the buyer's solicitor added reassurance.

The Law Society online HIPs service is supported by SearchFlow, who provide training and ongoing help and support. For more information, visit the Law Society HIP website http://www.hips.lawsociety.org.uk or email SearchFlow at hips@searchflow.co.uk and one of the team will be in touch.

White label HIPs service

This service enables conveyancers to produce a HIP branded as they choose, priced as they wish and containing content to their own specification. You can use your own suppliers or use the MDA panel if you prefer.

There is a deferred payment option and you can choose to brand the HIPs using your own company branding. Powered by MDA Advantage and supported by SearchFlow.

How does the services work?

It's easy. Type in details of the property and the seller. Upload some documents. The system guides you every step of the way, and it's all done through a standard browser window. There's a straightforward userguide and the SearchFlow helpdesk to back you up.

You can take instructions from estate agents through the system. The estate agent enters the property and seller details into a simple online form and a request appears in your system. You're notified by email when an estate agent has requested you to complete a pack. The estate agent is able to track the pack's progress without calling you, reducing your admin workload.
