Dry run - Official update on the HIP trials

21st March 2007

The dry runs which are being administered in certain key areas of the country are proving to be relatively successful.

Around 2,200 packs have been organised across the 8 area trials.

Newcastle is continuing to lead the way with many incentives being claimed. Early indicators from estate agents are that sellers are paying for the Home Condition Report rather than the preferring for this to be rolled up in estate agent fees.

The numbers of professional participants registered increased dramatically in the lead-up to the estate agent training in Southwark and Wales. Both events were well attended with a good mix of estate agents and solicitors.
