The message ews.net
from "Doctor Drivel" contains these words:

It ensures that the buyer get a decent deal and the
services are all inspected.

It doesn't. That's why the banks/building societies have
told the government they won't accept the HCR.

The idea is sound and right - a house MOT. That is the point. When you buy
a house you know you are not going into a crock that is going to cost you
£1000s a few years down the line.

The American system does this perfectly well.
It is included as part of the sales contract and
effectively is the seller giving the buyer a
personal warrenty against undeclared faults.

It should be looked at again and implemented.


The problem with HCR is the requirement to get
one before marketing the property.
