Home Information Packs – another Government Fiasco

Nobody wanted them, but the Government though they could push them through. Now they will apply only to homes with four bedrooms. To avoid wasting £600, people putting their home on the market will find that they now have three bedrooms plus a study, games room, extra reception room. Insufficient trained up inspectors, confusion over a legal challenge, commitments to consultation but no time in which to do it – has there ever been such a shambles?
