The new HIPs are causing misery and chaos for house buyers
My son, at the moment, is involved in the sale of his house and purchase of a new one, and says he is being driven to distraction by the ridiculous complications of the new HIPs.
He says no one seems to know what is required, how you go about it, or why it is necessary and it will involve him in at least an extra £1,000 in costs and a massive amount of wasted time.
He says the whole process has become bogged down in petty, time-wasting bureaucracy and all parties concerned are going frantic about the delays and unnecessary red tape.
The bureaucratic nonsense and irrelevance of these packs is making it much more difficult to buy and sell and he says his sale has probably been delayed by up to two months by having to collect all the information that these ridiculous packs require.
No one - not sellers, not buyers, not solicitors nor estate agents want these stupid packs. They are potentially disastrous and will cause chaos and misery.
They could eventually bring house sales to a juddering halt.
For pity’s sake, cannot our Government for once admit they have made a monumental mistake, or is this just another trick to con more money out of us on the back of the new "Green" religion?
