He doesn't know what he's on about. There's going to be a lot of this. Instead of bringing clarity to the housing market, it has introduced more obfuscation and unnecessary expense - more snouts to the trough! The whole lot [property transaction law] needs taking down and rebuiding.

Just like my buyer's Solicitor who said I did need a HIP's pack for a private sale.
(Sorry Lawyer Lady )
He backed off when I sent him a copy of the rules and regs on HIP's and my buyer also had to buy their own LA searches.

Its ok Melboy, theres lots of confusion out there still.HIPS are a total joke ' I've now had seven received after the sale has gone through. Do you think this arrogant Govt.will ever acknowledge they are just a penalty on sellers?
