This legislation was laid with the intention to bring certainty and better flow of information into a procedure which can be both stressful and daunting for those entering the housing market or deciding to move from one property to another.
There are many who genuinely believe and welcome such a change to this industry and have invested both time and money to ensure that the Home Information Packs are successful and produced at a reasonable cost.
However, the reality is that we continue to be driven by those who resist change and place barriers every step of the way.
Can we not now move forward and make the first step to improving our home moving process by comitting to Home Information Packs from 1 August.

Ruth Kelly should resign immediately along with her sidekick Yvette Cooper. As a Trainee Home Inspector I have used my life savings to qualify for what now appears to be a no hope future, A tmy time of life I will not recover from this disaster.

We now number into the thousands, the Government should brace itself for not only a tidal wave of lawsuits, but also total failure to secure another term in Power...come the general elections this amongst other screw ups will be remembered, enjoy it while you can Mr Brown!

I am about to start a course to become a enegy consultant it is going to cost me around £3000, but I am not yet sure if I should go ahead and attend the course as the government is still dithering about wether to cancel HIP's or not, I feel for the people who have already spent there hard earnt cash as well as there dreams of a new career.
Why is it that the government can not stand up for what they say they believe in and impliment this long awaited service

Just another way of reducing unemployment with non-jobs for which this Government has excelled. Of course Ruth Kelly (waving arms as well!) will get them back on course.
