It might be downgraded if the DEA didn't take a Ladder to look in the Loft, LOL

Such a misconstrued article, all Headline no news to it, show me a Graph for the Carbon emmissions on an EPC. Epc Ratings especially for Electrically heated properties will likely drop in the near future not go up as many hope.

Gareth - When we did HIPs Close Brothers offered us a deferred payment plan, a good way to finance your scheme?

The one thing I constantly hear is that online and upfront Agents delay the sale process, they've already got their money paid upfront so have little incentive to help sales proceed forward as they have new consumers to target for their upfront fees as a priority? How true is this? I'd also add from a personal point of view about the 'hated HIPs'. In Leicester City pre HIPs a Local Authority Search was £120 and took weeks. Due to HIPS this dropped to £60 plus a free refresh within six months, the search took 2-4 days. After HIPS, searches went back at one stage to 8 weeks and have now gone up to £88. Maybe someone should dream up a 'pack' of conveyancing documents ordered early in the sales process, PIPS anyone?

"EAT recently ran a story on some local searches taking literally months, so having to hold back marketing for that time kills any relatively spontaneous house selling stone dead." More rubbish, properties could be marketed within days or even hours using, never a need to wait for searches at all, in fact under HIPs legislation consumers got a better deal as there was scrutiny placed on Councils over charging for public information and timescales were reduced as well. This really is a totally amateurish article.

"Either way, HIPs were not extended to cover smaller properties." Haha, what a load of baloney, do you not even know about the subject of the article? I see the 'Industry' is still writing rubbish about HIPs after all these years.
