If people want to or need to sell, they will sell. If people are a unsure then they might not, but isn't this better than sellers changing their mind half way through a sale and costing both parties more money with solicitors and valuations fees. I think the biggest concern I have with HIPs is the shelf life of the searches. If the property takes longer than 3 months to sell, then the searches are out of date and the buyer will have to pay to get them renewed.
