We have BNP spokespeople telling us to abandon Britain and live elsewhere with a load of foreigners now, that they apparantly hate !!!

I think the BNP are turning a tad too liberal for my liking, Emma. Demanding we go live outside of Britain, surrounded by a bunch of foreigners? I don’t think I’ll vote for the BNP in the next election either. (Assuming that they still exist by then, of course – All the BNP candidates will hopefully take their own advice and f*ck off outside of Britain)

let me get this straight

To have a pack costs between £450 and £600 n could cost up to £1000

BUT

if you dont have one, you get fined just £200!

Think I’ll skip the pack n take the fine thanks

The troubled Home Information Pack scheme is facing a crisis because of a critical shortage of people trained to produce them.

With less than four weeks to go before they are introduced, Government figures uncovered by The Sunday Telegraph revealed that fewer than 2,000 people have been trained as “Domestic Energy Assessors” (DEAs), against Labour’s initial target of 7,400.

The figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) also showed that not a single assessor has been officially “accredited”.

Accreditation, which includes carrying out Criminal Record Bureau checks on applicants, can take up to four weeks. Critics described the situation as “deeply worrying” and called on the Government to delay the scheme or risk “killing the housing market altogether”.

From June 1, homeowners in England and Wales will be legally obliged to supply buyers with Home Information Packs (HIPs), including lease details, local searches and a mandatory Energy Performance Certificate from a DEA.

It is estimated that HIPs will cost between £400 to £650 to produce. But the desperate shortage of qualified DEAs has prompted fears that many homeowners will not be able to market their houses from June and that suppliers of packs will exploit the situation by charging fees of up to £1,000.

Sellers who market homes without a pack face a fixed-penalty fine of £200 from trading standards officers.

Peter Bolton King, the chief executive of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), said the shortage of DEAs would bring the housing market to “a grinding halt“.

The packs are widely opposed by members of the property industry, whose research found more than 70 per cent of the public does not know what HIPs are.

well PB outside Britain to Emma starts with Ireland, Rep Ireland, Wales N Scotland….

Anyway, is the 6 month time limit on these still in place too? Which would mean a cost of several thousand pounds for people whos homes are on the market for a few years

Basically its bollocks, the entire thing is a stealth tax accrued via VAT and income tax, theres no reason it couldnt have merely been an embellishment of the existing process that someone buying a home already has to do

The fact a home can sit without needing an “mot” for decades but them magically needs one when the seller is about to make money off it makes the real reasoning behind this quite plain really, its just another little earner to give the lefties more money to give as charitable donations to african businessmen and dictators
