Public urged to use Solicitors for HIPs

The Law Society is kicking off a media campaign to urge consumers to use solicitors when they create Home Information Packs.

It is aimed to coincide with a major press advertising push later this month by the Department of Communities and Local Government on sellers' legal obligations to provide HIPs.

The government will also advertise on leading property websites, which will direct sellers and buyers to the Law Society's website, putting solicitors centre stage for HIPs provision.

The society will target consumer and regional media to inform sellers of the benefits of using a solicitor to ensure that their HIPs are compliant with the conveyancing process.

For information on HIPs, please call us on 01903 222299 or e-mail us pki@bennett-griffin.co.uk.
