Be a Property Professional

Earn your share of two rapidly growing multi-million pound industries

Since the full rollout of Home Information Packs (HIPs) on December 14th 2007, every home that is put on the market for sale in England and Wales now requires a HIP. The Pack includes a number of documents including an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), local searches, a sale statement and evidence of title. The main purpose of the HIP is to help show potential purchasers how to cut carbon emissions and fuel bills, whilst also helping to speed up the sale process and reduce the number of house sales that fall through.
One of the main reasons why HIPs help to speed up the sale process is because they contain Searches - which traditionally were only applied for once a sale was agreed.

It is estimated that over 2.5 million homes per year will require a HIP, plus the anticipated rollout of Energy Performance Certificates for all rental and commercial properties in 2008 will grow the market further.

Home information Packs (HiPs)

Since the full rollout of HIPs on December 14th 2007, every home that is put on the market for sale in England and Wales now requires a HIP.

This has created a new and exciting industry, supported by the Government, with an estimated 2.5 million homes per year requiring a HIP. And, it doesn’t matter if house prices rise or fall because they still require a HIP, no matter what price they sell for!

Prontohips business operators are able to provide a comprehensive HIP service in an easy and cost-effective online environment for a fraction of the cost of most HIP providers.

Personal searches

Searches (such as local authority and water and drainage searches) are mandatory components of a HIP. Prontohips business operators are trained to perform these searches, which provides greater control and the ability to offer cost-efficient HIP solutions.

Additionally, conveyancing professionals require searches for every residential and commercial property sale, which is a multi-million pound industry in itself.

Prontohips training provides an understanding of the procedures and requirements necessary to operate as a personal search agency to enable operators to compete in this industry as well.

Everything you need to succeed:

• HIPs training – covering HIP components and compilation of the pack
• HIPs software system – fully automated and integrated online system
• Personal search training – delivered by a highly experienced Search Management Consultant
• Search templates – HIP code compliant client reporting templates
• HIP Code & Search Code compliant – all packs meet the latest standards
• Business training – marketing, accounts and admin training
• Marketing pack – sales literature, stationary and dedicated webpage & email
• Lead generation– leads from the Prontohips website & 0845 orderline

• Pre & post sales support– ongoing account manager support & mentoring
• Exclusive territory – dedicated referral territory

Pioneer Business Operators

Prontohips are looking to appoint a limited number of business operators in strategic areas to showcase this unique business model. Experience in the property industry would be an advantage, however it is more important that applicants have an entrepreneurial flair and the drive, determination and tenacity to build a successful business, with full support and guidance from Prontohips.

Following a successful pilot scheme, Prontohips are offering a limited number of operators a special entry price of just £12,995 + vat (a 48% licence fee reduction) during the initial launch period. Prontohips reserves the right to revert back to the standard licence fee once these places are filled.
