I know someone who had a corgi interview the other day. The corgi
interviewer apparently went on about many people not being able to sell
their home in 2007, due to this survey I would presume. When a seller
gets the survey, and they know the recent history of the house, it will
be more of a decision as to whether every little change, wiring mod
etc. is mentioned I suppose. Unless you just get a company in to the
the survey by the book without telling him anything. Also, I wonder if
this survey will include building control etc. I expect the corgi bloke
is expecting loads of inspection work in 2007 and some more corgi
golden years.
Do people agree / disagree with this corgi's opinions ?

So people who don't have a properly documented history will just get
an inspection done and the cost will enter the housing market - i.e.
the customer will ultimately pay.

It's a complete nonsense to suggest that they won't be able to sell
their home.

What it could perhaps do, is to raise the issue of CORGI's monopoly
again. Last time the HSE looked at this, it was decided not to bother
to allow more organisations on gas safety. For the Part P electrical
requirements of the Building Regulations there are 5 approved
organisations. So paradoxically for CORGI, this apparent new market
could well imply additional organisations competing with them, and it
would not be before time.
