I'm in broad agreement with the comments below. During the entire period when HIPS were compulsory I did not have a single client who had looked at them prior to instructing me - the reasoning presumably being that was what they were paying me to do. And I see the oft-peddled statistic of one in three matters falling through being regurgitated - this is not a ratio that bears any resemblance to my experience undertaking conveyancing for over 30 years (which was more like 1 in 10 falling through, almost always because of reasons which "upfront information" would have made no difference to).
