Several years ago, most of the people in Great Britain voted for the New Labour in order to rule us for the next four, seven, and god forbid twelve years in honest belief that our lives will be improved. Actually, we did not vote for Gordon Brown, however again I digress.
The new government would listen to all our problems and would make our lives improved in ways which we could not only imagine and things could only become better. I’m just chattering pointlessly, on purpose, since if I had said the word Home Information Pack then you would, quite truly, have stopped reading at least twenty seconds ago. But please bear with me; you are really going to be amazed. I know about pop music and had a record shop twenty years ago on the Fulham Road. I had also worked for D&G for more than twenty three years and I’m having quite knowledge about property as well. We (professionals) have tried several ways to advise the Labour Housing Ministers (which is not experts) regarding how to improve our industry on several occasions, however to no benefit.
We said that if you make Home Information Pack mandatory on the April 1st, it would deter people from putting their properties on the market, causing a constant scarcity of houses and dramatic growth in property values. Well will you consider or trust it, in the midst of the bad recession in living memory, property values in London this year have grown already by approximately twenty percent, fuelled totally by more demand and very less supply – I know, you could not make it up. However that is nothing, just suppose at the end of the October you would like to take benefit of this growth in prices and sell your property before Christmas and you live, for instance, in Lambeth.
