    It’s absolutely definitive Nu Lab; a policy that is pointless, intrusive, expensive and is being pushed through despite overwhelming contrary opinion from anyone with “industry” knowledge. It seems that once the pols and their SPADs have come up with a scheme, their egos are all that matter.

    One of my neighbours spent £ thousands on attending a course to be qualified to do the surveying bit (he knows a fair bit already – he’s been a property developer for decades), but then Nulab did a U-turn and said that such a survey was no longer required in the HIP.
    Tee hee! That’s what happens when you believe a single word this government says.

    Double tee hee for the householders who voted New Labour and then get gouged by New Labour guild members.

    You want to sell me your house, I want to buy it, we agree a price. You agree to give me time to get finance and sell my house, whatever we agree, could be 2 weeks could be 2 months. All this is in a binding contract that you and I enter into freely. If I don’t get finance or sell in agreed time, house is back on market. If everything OK, we agree move date, if transfer comes before move, you pay me rent that we’ve agreed, if after, I pay you. If you sell to someone else while the contract is in place, I sue the pants off you. All very simple and civil.
