The Navitas Partnership

The Navitas Partnership is a leading provider of the Home Information Pack in the Bristol and Bath region, offering a unique and comprehensive service solution.

If you are an estate agent or solicitor we take full responsibility for the completion and arrangement of the HIP. We only require your client’s contact details. We meet your client in person, explain the HIP process and options available, and carry out the EPC on the day, all in one visit.

Therefore, with one call to arrange a meeting there is no need for a call centre to complicate the marketing process with additional communication or external assessors. This has advantages for all stakeholders in the residential property sales market. Our services enable local relationships without using faceless national organisations.

Contact us for your complete local solution.

PERSONAL SEARCH HIP

OFFICIAL SEARCH HIP

Mandatory pack that meets all legal requirements in order to market your property.

The lower cost option

Greater legal status

100% guaranteed acceptance by solicitors and mortgage lenders

5 to 10 working days to compile

Current Issues

Personal searches are not guaranteed of acceptance by mortgage lenders. Replacement official searches may have to be carried out during conveyance, slowing down the transaction time.

Personal searches can be rejected by solicitors as they improve commercial legal standards and therefore complete the search process at a later day

The majority of details are requested through a personal search consultant, and as HIPs expand, bookings can get delayed. Personal search appointment times are becoming stretched as the number of personal searches increase

Higher cost – up to £120 more expensive than a Mandatory HIP
