If sellers make sure the paper work(Title, searches, property information forms etc) for their property is complete prior to a sale then quick sales are so possible, using any method.

Preparing and sharing your property documents and general information, during the marketing phase, must be an easier route to a more secure and quicker sale. The software today makes this so easy to achieve.

A small sample but a very strong result. There is so much hard work being done in this space it is certainly feasible. Looking at the participant on the working parties, estate agents are not well represented, compared to others in the process. Agents need to be encouraged to engage with the change process to ensure it services them into the future.

The main point here must be that a quicker and more efficent process is required. With technology and determination from the whole industry the process can be made quicker and more transparent. I believe the current system might not be perfect but it is what we have and we do not have the time to start making wholesale changes. The younger generation are demanding more certainty in the conveyancing process. With "Up Front Information" displayed to potential buyers before they offer and timely processes this can be achieved.

Green mortgages may well be "only scratching the surface in terms of helping to make the housing market more energy efficient" at the moment, but they may be used as a tool to promote higher etc in the future. If loans/mortgages are made cheaper for more efficent houses it will slowly widen the gap between the value of houses with varrying EPC's

When the whole conveyancing process is quicker and more transparent, providing the cost of moving (stamp duty) is reduced the whole process will be much more fluid.

If best and finals are used on a very popular property a good result can be achieved. i would always recommend having the title, searches and property information forms completed and avaliable to potential buyers so the successful offer has 2 weeks to exchange. As we all know you only get certainty with an exchange. Free PIP Vaults can be used for this.

One thing missing from the research is the non property matters that can result in fall throughs. Such as loss of job etc. These are reduced by quicker exchamges. The one thing that can be done is to gather this information at the start of the marketing period and share the information with potential buyers before they offer, so there are aware of any issues.

From: Timothy Main 19 August 2021 09:05 AM

Quicker sales and reducing fall throughs is a clear focus. At the Residential Logbook Association (RLBA) we are just looking to run some trials with agents. Please could any agents keen to help this development message me, Tim Main @pip ltd on Linked-in.

Music to our ears. Buyers want to be more informed and the current system does not assist them in any way. A number of companies are looking at different information buyers could find useful. With our PIP Vaults we are providing a space where this information can be collated and stored, as well as displaying it to potential buyers before they offer. Estate agents can register and offer their sellers and buyers the benefit of the dataroom, for free.

From: Timothy Main 16 June 2021 08:19 AM

Surely qualifying the buyer is part of any estate agents job. Then it is their client, along with themselves who can decide who they will allow to view their property. Many sellers ask for just "proceedable buyers" to be shown round. This is not an entertainment industry.

From: Timothy Main 16 June 2021 08:12 AM

Doing just this, i was able to exchange the sale of my house in 2 weeks and 2 days. When we agreed the sale the buyer had not appointed a conveyancer. It can be done. I completed the property forms and even purchased the searches. Put them in a PIP Vault so potential buyers could see them before they viewed or offered. I did not get a survey done up front but this was completed in the second week. IT CAN BE DONE, I believe the drive has to come from the estate agent and seller.

From: Timothy Main 09 April 2021 08:19 AM

Surely this is a matter for the estate agents if the profession deem electric charging points to be "material facts" and surveyors when completing their survey/valuation.

From: Timothy Main 30 March 2021 08:31 AM

These figures are no major shock, it shows a quicker sales process with more information up front is being requested by the consumer. Why not display this information to potential buyers during the marketing process in a PIP Vault. We are providing a space for agents, sellers and conveyancers to store and display the information.

From: Timothy Main 11 March 2021 09:45 AM

Up front information is one way of helping speed up the process. A PIP Vault, free for agents to use, is a digital dataroom that allows the seller, agent and conveyancer to post property documents. These documents can then be shared with potential buyers before they offer. If you were buying a car you would check the paperwork before you offered, why not a house? Compliance with the display of material matters is also met!

From: Timothy Main 05 March 2021 08:24 AM

PIP Vault agrees that you need as much info up front as possible. If you have any info and need to present it to your buyers and their solicitors, via your website if necessary, you can use a PIP Vault for free [think of it as an auction dataroom]. Agents open the dataroom and the agent,seller and seller's conveyancer can post to it. Potential buyers can see the information via a property specific link.

From: Timothy Main 01 March 2021 09:08 AM

can only agree that now is a good time to review the tech avaliable. Our PIP Vaults focus on speeding the conveyancing, reducing fall throughs as well as helping win instructions rather than increasing direct revenue from the sale.

From: Timothy Main 19 November 2020 11:39 AM

Up front information, that can be shared with the potential buyers, before they bid, so they know what they are buying, must help the process for all parties. Now is the time for estate agents to win this area of business and sell it as a value added service. Tim Main

From: Timothy Main 02 November 2020 09:33 AM

Estate agents have got the opertunity to work with their clients to get all the information required ready. They can even get searches ordered if they are in a slow area. This information can now be shared with potential buyers to remove expensive supprises later in the process.

From: Timothy Main 19 October 2020 10:19 AM

Perhaps now is the right time for Estate Agents to start thinking about advising their clients to get the searches "Up Front". If not on day one of marketing then as soon as offers are anticipated. Searches last for 6 months, with many firms offering a refresh service. The cost of the searches can usually be recovered from the buyer.
