Green Qual Personal Search & HIPs Training
Do your own searches & produce complete HIPs for the lowest possible cost
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. If you're not currently providing your own HIPs or Personal Search Reports, or if you're buying the other components in from a HIP provider, then you're missing an opportunity to increase your revenue.
By learning how to produce the full HIP & search reports with Green Qual, you could:
- Produce full HIPs from just £66 - £85 (inc VAT)
- Produce same-day market ready HIPs
- Offer access to your HIPs online - with vendor 'log-in' facility
- Offer customers deferred payment & take credit / debit card payments
- Expand your services & offer personal search reports - a multi-million pound industry
- Learn how to market to estate agents, solicitors & the general public
For just £875 +VAT (discounts available with email promotional codes), the Green Qual 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! You will also be in complete control of how quickly the pack is put together, learning how to produce a 'same-day' market ready HIP, so that your customers won't have to wait to put their property onto the market.
What can you expect to get out of this training?
Green Qual 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 a deferred payment 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 and independent to HIPs.

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?
