YourHIPSearch Personal Search & HIPs Training

Do your own searches & produce complete HIPs for as little as £66

If you are already a fully qualified DEA, you will be aware that an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is only one element included within a HIP. You will also probably be aware that many DEAs are struggling to find continuity of work, which is due to a number of reasons, including:

• A large number of trained DEAs - with little to differentiate between them
• Not supplying what the customers wants (i.e. a completed HIP) –  most DEAs are still only providing just the EPC
• Price – margins are tight due to the proportionally large cost of sourcing search components
• Lack of control & speed – due to reliance on other HIP component providers
• Sales & marketing knowledge – not employing the right techniques to win business directly with estate agents or home sellers

For just £1250 +VAT (discounts available with limited offer email promotional codes), the YourHIPSerach Personal Search & HIPs training course will equip you with the knowledge and tools to overcome these issues, and enable you to produce complete Home Information Packs for as little as £66 each, giving you plenty of scope to make a great margin!

What can you expect to get out of this training?

YourHIPSearch training will teach you how to compile HIP Code compliant packs and provide you with access to an online software system which will allow you to produce complete Home Information Packs and compete as a HIP provider.

The online software system also includes deferred payment and a ‘No Sale, No Fee’ HIP option, which is proving to be very popular in current market conditions.

The main focus of the training will concentrate on teaching you how to produce your own personal searches. This training will give you the knowledge and understanding necessary to carry out accurate and comprehensive personal searches (to a Search Code compliant standard) for Home Information Packs. In addition, you will also gain an appreciation of the procedures and requirements necessary to operate as a personal search agency, which is a multi-million pound industry in itself.

So, rather than simply joining an oversubscribed bank of DEAs and waiting for work to be forwarded to you from HIP providers, why not take control and produce the full HIP pack and searches yourself?
