So what the hell is going on with HIPS. We are assured they will be compulsory (sort of) in June 2007 but still so much appears to be in the air. The Government are still consulting and therefore further changes are likely. Who is going to provide the Energy Rating Certificates?
How am I ( a small High Street practice) supposed to prepare for all this and chat to all my Estate Agent "friends" to sell my solution with all this crap still up in the air.
Oh! by the way, don't talk to me about ABS (I thought this helped you crash your car in a straight line), Tesco Law etc.
On a completely unrelated topic I read in the Gazette this week that the consumer complaints arm of the Law Society will be actively seeking complaints from clients by targetting them. It's bad enough managing clients often unrealistic expectations without someone else stirring them up to complain.
That retirement home in West Dorset is the answer

I agree with you on the HIPs thing.
With all of the major conveyor belt law firms now offering HIP's pack and their relationships with all the major banks, estate agents etc it's going to be hard for anyone else to get a look in.
And who's betting they say "Here's your HIP by the way did you know we can also do your conveyancing for you?" means they'll weep up a lot of the transactions as well.
Oh well you never know the conservatives could always get elected and scrap the whole thing!

Come on ,Weary, HIPs have launched now (sort of)! What have you to say? Or are you already in your Retirement Home ?
Have you seen any yet?
I think the whole ill-concieved project will be dropped as a vote loser once the HIPs companies have had a crack at it and the market dies...and of course once the Stamp Duty Land Tax revenues stop pouring in!!
I wish politicians ( of all colours) would stop interfering with things they know nothing about and be guided by professionals who work in the field..
