This is the nub of the problem, in every other transaction the principle is "Buyer beware" the HCR is culturally incompatible with this. The actual rock on which this ill conceived voyage foundered was however the lenders... Who, as they are usually lending near the full value against the security of the property, are effectively the buyers. -- David Clark http://www.publishing.ucl.ac.uk $replyto = 'an.rnser.is.reqird' |

The condition of the windows and suitability to the property will be much more important to a buyer than the thermal properties. In some cases, new double glazing would seriously detract from the price. -- Andrew Gabriel |

If you have nothing to hide you would not object to such an inspection and report. Correct. I have no problem with such an inspection and report. I have a problem with being expected to PAY for it. You have something to hide. They are a brilliant idea. If that was true they would already exist, They are trying to get them - house MOT. That is/was the idea. No, the Government is trying to enforce them by law. That's a somewhat different thing than popular demand, don't you think? Laws are not needed to encourage people to do what they want to do, only what they don't want to do. Do you find this a difficult concept? |

A house MOT would be greatly popular. Laws are not needed to encourage people to do what they want to do, only what they don't want to do. Do you find this a difficult concept? Law are to protect the weak from the strong, the cunning for the honest, etc. You have something to hide. |
