1st Call DEA can now offer clients No Sale No Fee Home Information Packs.
Pali, Close Payment Services & CLSL have teamed up to offer a new product. You can now add an insurance policy to the standard Deferred Payment Option which means if the property does not sell within 9 months you can claim the full price of the HIP back meaning it won’t cost you a penny.
The charges for deferring the cost of the HIP remain the same i.e. 12% on top of the gross price of the HIP plus an up front payment of £30. The additional cost of the insurance is £50 for HIPs totalling upto £500 or £80 for HIPs totalling upto £700, which will be added to the deferred cost and as such subject to the 12% fee.

Example costing:

£285.00 - Gross price of HIP
£ 50.00 – No Sale No Fee Insurance
£335.00 – Sub Total
£ 40.20 – 12% Close Fee
£375.20 – Fee payable if the property sells within 9 months
£30.00 payment taken upfront from vendor's debit/credit card which would also be refunded in the event of no sale.

£405.20 - Total amount payable.
